if 2 chickens can lay 8 eggs in 3 days, how many eggs can 5 chickens lay in 6 days?
Well, you first have to figure out how many eggs each chicken lay. To find this, just divide 8 by 2.
8 / 2 = ?
Next, figure out how many a total of 5 chickens can lay together by multiplying the quotient of 8 and 2, and 5 together.
5 x 4 = ?
I hope this helps you!
2 chicken lay 8 eggs in 3 days
1 chicken lays 4 eggs in 3 days
1 chicken lays 8 eggs in 6 days
5 chicken lay 40 eggs in 6 days
If evies chicken lays 4 eggs every 5 days, how many days will it take for evies chicken to lay 16 eggs?
To find out how many eggs 5 chickens can lay in 6 days, we can use a proportion to solve the problem.
First, let's determine the rate at which 2 chickens lay eggs. We know that in 3 days, 2 chickens can lay 8 eggs. So, on average, they lay 8 eggs in 3 days.
To find out how many eggs they lay in 1 day, we can divide the total number of eggs (8) by the number of days (3):
8 eggs ÷ 3 days = 2.67 eggs per day (rounded to two decimal places).
Next, let's use this average rate of laying eggs per day to calculate how many eggs 5 chickens can lay in 1 day. We can multiply the average rate by the number of chickens:
2.67 eggs per day × 5 chickens = 13.33 eggs per day (rounded to two decimal places).
Finally, we can find out how many eggs 5 chickens can lay in 6 days by multiplying the average rate by the number of days:
13.33 eggs per day × 6 days = 80 eggs.
Therefore, 5 chickens can lay approximately 80 eggs in 6 days.
