Uncle John has 440 chickens on his farm. 105 are roosters, and the rest are hens. 37 of his hens do not lay eggs. If each hen lays five eggs every week, how many eggs can uncle John get in one week? write a number expression.
To find out how many eggs Uncle John can get in one week, we first need to determine the number of hens he has on his farm.
Given that Uncle John has a total of 440 chickens and 105 of them are roosters, we can subtract the number of roosters from the total to get the number of hens: 440 - 105 = 335.
However, 37 of these hens do not lay eggs. Therefore, we subtract this number from the total number of hens: 335 - 37 = 298.
Now that we know Uncle John has 298 hens that lay eggs, we can calculate the number of eggs he can get in one week. Since each hen lays five eggs a week, we multiply the number of hens by five: 298 * 5 = 1490.
So, in one week, Uncle John can get 1490 eggs.
To find the number of eggs Uncle John can get in one week, we need to determine the number of hens that lay eggs and multiply that by the number of eggs each hen lays per week.
First, let's calculate the number of hens on Uncle John's farm. We know that the total number of chickens on the farm is 440, and 105 of them are roosters. Therefore, the number of hens is:
Total number of chickens - Number of roosters = 440 - 105 = 335 hens
However, 37 of these hens do not lay eggs. Therefore, the number of hens that lay eggs is:
Number of hens - Number of hens that do not lay eggs = 335 - 37 = 298 hens
Finally, we multiply the number of hens that lay eggs by the number of eggs each hen lays per week to get the total number of eggs in one week:
Number of hens that lay eggs * Number of eggs each hen lays per week = 298 * 5
Therefore, the number expression is:
298 * 5 = 1490
Uncle John can get 1490 eggs in one week.
The number of hens = 440 chickens - 105 roosters = <<440-105=335>>335
The number of hens that lay eggs = 335 hens - 37 hens = <<335-37=298>>298 hens
The number of eggs uncle John can get in one week = 298 hens * 5 eggs/hen = <<298*5=1490>>1490 eggs. Answer: \boxed{1490}.
