Question 562879
Use ratios.<P>
Start with 1.5 hens laying 1,5 eggs in 1.5 days.  How many eggs do 1.5 hens lay in 1.5 days.<P>
1.5/1.5 = x/1 |cross multiply
1.5x=1.5 so x = 1<P>
1.5 hens lay 1 egg per day.  How many eggs does 1 hen lay per day?<P>
1.5/1 = 1/x | cross multiply<P>
1.5x = 1 so x =1/1.5 = .666666666666667 = 2/3.  Each hen lays 2/3 egg per day.<P>
6 hens lay 6*2/3 = 12/3 = 4 eggs per days.
That's 7*4 = 28 eggs in 7 days.
