if four hens lay 9 eggs in 7 days, how many days will it take four dozen hens to lay 27 dozen eggs?
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "hens and days are inversely related
\n" ); document.write( "days and eggs are directly related
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "d = k*e/h
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"k\" using \"four hens lay 9 eggs in 7 days\":
\n" ); document.write( "7 = k*9/4
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "k = 28/9
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "d = (28/9)*e/h
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "how many days will it take four dozen hens to lay 27 dozen eggs?
\n" ); document.write( "d = (28/9)27/48
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "d = 28*3/48
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "days = 1 3/4 days\r
