Question 830895: Ravi has 3 hens that lay eggs. One hen lays 1 egg every day. The second hen lays 1 egg every day. The third hen lays 1 egg every 3 days. How many eggs would Ravi gather over a 6 days? Found 2 solutions by JulietG, MathTherapy:Answer by JulietG(1812) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Figure out how many eggs each hen lays in 6 days, and then add them together.
Hen A lays 1 per day. 1*6 = 6
Hen B lays 1 every 2 days. 1/2 * 6 = 3
Hen C lays 1 every 3 days. 1/3 * 6 = 2
.
Total = 6 + 3 + 2
=11 eggs in 6 days
(Well, crud, I read that as the second hen lays every OTHER day.)
