Answer 1

72 eggs = 100 birds

Find 1 egg:

1 egg = 100/72 = 25/18

Find 324 eggs:

324 eggs = 25/18 x 324 = 450 birds

Answer: 450 birds will produce 324 eggs

Answer 2

The 450 birds will produce 324 eggs.

Given,

In a poultry farm, every 100 birds provide an average of 72 eggs.

To Find,

The number of birds.

Solution,

Before solving the question, let's understand the concept of average.

Average:- As the mean of a given set of values, the average represents the ratio between the sum of the values in the set and the total number of values present.

The formula for average:

Average = Sum of Values/Number of Values

Now, let's solve the question,

If every 100 birds provide an average of 72 eggs.

So,

let's find the value of 1 egg.

We will use the formula of average.

= Sum of Values/Number of Values

= 100/72 or $\frac{25}{18}$.

Now, let's find the number of birds,

=  $\frac{25}{18}$ × 324.

= 25 × 19

= 450.

The 450 birds will produce 324 eggs.
