Question:
If a hen and a half lay an egg and a half in a day and a half, how many eggs will half a dozen hens lay in half a dozen days?
Answer:
It is difficult , practically, to imagine half a chicken laying half an egg in either a day or a day and a half, however, mathematically the answer is 60 eggs. 3 chickens will lay 60 eggs in 1.5 X 20 = 30 days. Thus the mathematical answer is 60 eggs.

Answer:
ANSWER: 2 dozen (24).
EXPLANATION:
The number of hens has increased from 1.5 to 6 (4 times more) and the number of days has increased from 1.5 to 6 (also 4 times more). The effect is cumulative, therefore the number of eggs that will be layed will be 16 times more (i.e. 24 instead of 1.5).
