Question

If a hen and a half lay an egg and a half in a day and a half, how many eggs will half a dozen hens lay in half a dozen days?

Answer 1

Answer:

4 eggs

Step-by-step explanation:

One and half hen=1 egg in two days

=3 hens(one and half +one and half)=two eggs in four days

6 hens(half a dozen is equal to 12 divided by 2=6)=? Eggs in six days

=the 6 hens divided by 3 hens =2

The two eggs gotten from the 3 hens + the other 2=4 eggs in six days

Answer 2

Answer:

72 eggs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s simplify the answer: if one and a half hens lay an egg in 18 hours, how many eggs will 6 hens lay in 6 days? So 18/3=6, and 6x2=12. One hen can lay an egg in 12 hours. Which means a hen can lay 2 eggs in one day. 2x6=12. So 6 hens can lay 12 eggs in one day. 12x6=72. In 6 days, 6 hens can lay 72 eggs
