Uniform Rates for chickens doing the task of laying eggs.
RT=J, rate, time, task quantity.

6r%2A4=48 for the first part.
r=48%2F24
r=24%2F12
r=2-----------eggs per day for one chicken


The question part would go like this:
r is now known.
Let t be how many days for the question.

10%2Ar%2At=100
t=10%2Fr
t=10%2F2
highlight%28t=5%29, days.
