3/2 3/2 3/2
3 3 3/2

1 1/2 chickens lay 5 eggs in 5 days. If there are 3 chickens then it must be 2 of 1 1/2 chickens. The answer must be 10 eggs will be laid in 5 days.

In 3 days, the 3 chickens will lay 3 eggs
In 1 1/2 days, 1 1/2 chickens will lay 1 1/2 eggs.
So the total eggs that the 3 chickens will lay in 5 days is only 4 1/2 eggs, since the remaining 1 1/2 chicken will not lay any egg for only 1/2 day.

The 3 chickens would lay 3 eggs in 3 days, so it should be 5 1/4 eggs

You get 1 1/2 eggs per 1 1/2 chickens per 1 1/2 days, which is 1.5 eggs/2.25 chicken-days, which is 1 egg per 1.5 chicken-days. 3 chickens times 5 days = 15 chicken-days.
(1 egg/1.5 chick-day)(15 chick-days) = 10 eggs.
