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:

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

Oh I answered first btw if you’re wondering later

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer: b.14

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two shelves, the top shelf s_{t} and the bottom shelf s_{b}.

Now, firstly we are told the top shelf has 10 more than 1/3 the number of books on the bottom shelf. This can be expressed as:

s_{t}=10+\frac{1}{3}s_{b} (1)

Then, we are told there are 12 books on the bottom shelf:

s_{b}=12 (2)

Substituting (2) in (1):

s_{t}=10+\frac{1}{3}(12) (3)

s_{t}=10+\frac{12}{3} (4)

s_{t}=14 (5) This is the number of books on the top shelf

Hence, the correct option is b.
