(1.5 Hens) => (1.5 Eggs) =>(1.5 Days)
3H => 3E =>1.5D
6H => 6E =>1.5D
6H => 12E =>3D
6H =>4E =>1D
6H => XE =>7D
=> 6 Hens => 4 * 7 = 28 Eggs => 7 Days

6 hens would obviously lay 6 eggs in 1.5 days.
So to find out how many eggs these same 6 hens would produce in 7 days, you just solve for x in the following equation: proportion of eggs laid to days,so if 6 eggs were laid in 1.5 days ,how many eggs would be laid in 7 days.

1.5x=42
:
eggs
