Answer 2

Let X = "how many foxes will be needed to catch 60 hens in 60 minutes"

In the first case the rate of catching is

$In \:the\: first \:case \:the \:rate\: of\: catching\: is\: \frac{6}{6.6} in \: terms \: of \: hens \: per \: fox \: per \: minute$

$These \: rates \: are \: assumed \: to \: be \: the \: same \: - it \: gives \: you \: an \: proportion \: \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \frac{6}{6.6} = \frac{60}{x.60} \: or \\ \\ \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{x} \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ </p><p>$

From the last proportion ,

$\huge\fbox\pink{x\: = 6\:}$
