If 1 1/2 chickens can lay 1 1/2 eggs in 1 1/2 days, 1 1/2 chickens can lay 1 egg in 1 day, while 6 can lay 4 in one day. Therefore, in 4 days, 6 chickens can lay 16 eggs.

1.5 chickens*1.5 days = 1.5 eggs

1.5 chickens = 1.5 eggs/ 1.5 days = 1 egg/day

6 chickens = 4 eggs/day

6 chickens * 4 days = 4 eggs/day * 4 days = 16 eggs.
