Question

Answer for brainliest!!! :> Three hens can lay 3 eggs in 3 days. How many hens would lay 3 eggs in 9 days?

Answer 1

It would still be the same 3 hens in 9 days.

Answer 2

Answer:

1 hen

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we will simply make the assumption that 1 hen can lay 1 egg every 3 days. Using this, let's build a proportion:

1 hen / 1 egg / 3 days == x hens / 3 eggs / 9 days

Notice our rate ( 1 egg / 3 days ) remains constant. This we can conclude based on our assumption that there is only 1 hen laying eggs.

If our rate was different, then we would have additional hens proportional to the rate.

Cheers.
