five chickens can lay 10 eggs in 20 days. how long does it take 18 chickens to lay 100 eggs?

Answer 1

5/(10*20) = 18/(100x)

Answer 2

thanks. but after thinking about it i think the eggs are proportional to the chickens and the days. ik its not the original question but
say 5 chicken lay 10 eggs in 20 days
then 5 chicken should lay 20 eggs in 40 days

5/(10*20) is different from 5/(20*40)

im confused can you explain please?

Answer 3

can anyone explain? Please help

Answer 4

5 chickens: 10eggs/20days = 0.5 eggs/day.

18 chickens: 18/5 * 0.5eggs/day = 1.8 eggs/day.

100eggs * 1day/1.8eggs = 100/1.8 = __ days.

Answer 5

wuts the answer

Answer 6

The answer, my good sir, is...
Oh dear, this is going to be a long one, my my! Let's get a sip of piping hot tea and explain this, shall we?

So if there would be 5 chickens, that would be 0.5 eggs a day, if my elementary school days served me right.

If there was 18 chickens, that would total out to be 1.8 eggs a day, rounded to 2 eggs a day because there can't be 0.8 of an egg, ha-ha!

So the answer, my dear good "Anonymous", posted on December 17 of 2020 is 0.55.

I hoped it helped mate!
