Chicken math question?

Question

If 1.5 chickens lays 1.5 eggs in 1.5 days, how many eggs can 24 chickens lay in 24 days?

Answer 1

You all answered so seriously..wow I am um....impressed

Answer 2

Let
n = number of eggs 1 chicken can lay in 1 day

n = (1.5 eggs/1.5 chickens)/(1.5 days)

n = 1/1.5 eggs per chicken per day = 2/3

N = Number of eggs 24 chickens can lay in 24 days

N = 24*24*(2/3) = 384 eggs

Answer 3

That's a weird way to put it...but i believe it's the same way as sayin one chicken lays one egg in one day...so 24 chickens lay 24 eggs per day...so 24 times 24 equals 576 eggs!

Answer 4

what? how do you have half of a chicken laying half of an egg?

that is 1 egg per chicken every 1.5 days so... a chicken can lay 24/1.5 = 16 eggs in 24 days

multiply by 24 gets 16*24=384

Answer 5

let's measure eggs in terms of chinken-days. In the original problem 1.5chickens x 1.5 days = 2.25 chicken days.
In 2.25 chicken days we get 1.5 eggs. Therefore in one chicken day we get 1.5/2.25 eggs = 2/3 eggs.

Every chicken-day = 2/3 eggs

Now given 24 chickens and 24 days we have 24 x 24 =
576 chicken days.
number of eggs = chicken days x 2/3
= 576 * 2/3 = 384 eggs.

Answer 6

1.5 chicken=1.5 eggs=1.5 days
1 chicken=1 egg=1 day
24 chicken=24 days=24x24=576 eggs
