You are missing how many days it takes to lay 48 eggs.
response was
sorry its four days i didn't know i miss some info
48 eggs in 4 days means 12 eggs a day
6 chickens lay 12 eggs in one day
each chicken lay 2 eggs a day
100/10=10
10/2 is 5 days for 10 chickens to lay 100 eggs
each day 10 chickens lay 20 eggs
so in 5 days 10 chickens lay5*20=100 eggs
