This math puzzle hurts my head

I was asked today, if a chicken and a half can lay an egg and a half in a day and a half, how ong would it take two chickens to lay three eggs. Anyone know?

 

ya gunna have to write the question in more precise, clearer english so we can understand it or else its hard to answer........

 

1.5 chickens give 1.5 eggs in 1.5 days.

implies 1 chicken gives 1 egg in 1.5 days.

2 chickens will give 2 eggs in 1.5 days.

for 3 eggs, you will need 50% more time....that is 2.25 days.

 

Two chicken will lay three eggs in one and half day..

 

It is quite difficult to answer I don't understand the question properly

 

Sachin is right.

1.5 chickens give 1.5 eggs in 1.5 days.

By logic, 1.5 chickens would need lesser time to produce only one egg.

Therefore, 1.5 chickens would give 1 egg in 1 day.

Again, if you reduce the number of chickens, the time taken will increase.

So, 1 chicken will give 1 egg in 1.5days.

That means 2 chickens will give 2 eggs in 1.5 days.

For the same chickens to produce more eggs would mean an increase in time. Using proportion, 2 chickens will give 3 eggs in 2.25 days.

 

I'm cooking my chicken & a half along with its egg & a half coz it's giving me a headache & a half.

 

Here is the math and hopefully a simple explanation...

If 1.5 chickens lay 1.5 eggs in 1.5 days then 1 chicken lays 1 eggs (1.5 eggs divided 1.5 chickens) in 1.5 days (still takes the same length of time).

So, if you have 2 chickens they will lay 2 eggs (1 egg x 2 chickens) in 1.5 days.

So, if you want three eggs you need 2.25 days (1.5 days x 150%)

 

What does a 1.5 chicken look like?

 

Sachin is right!

I'm hungry now

 

i cant understand the question, but i understood that "Desdichata" is talking about egg,
so i want to eat it lolz like Karan

 

LOL - if you did not get the right half (top / bottom) the half would not lay any eggs

 

Chicken lay eggs only when it is dark i.e after dusk and before dawn, so the question is absurd

 

is sachin right?

 

Just kill the chicken and fry it. Problem solved..

 

1 (Chicken) + 1/2 (Chicken) = 1(egg) + 1/2 (egg) = Takes 1day + 1/2 day

Therefore, 2 (Chickens) = 1 (Chicken) + 1/2 (Chicken) + 1/2 (Chicken)
= 1(egg) + 1/2 (egg) + 1/2 (egg)
= 2 ( eggs) only & not three eggs

Hence it is proved that 2 Chickens can't lay 3 (eggs)

Therefore the question is wrong.

 

How do u know they will lay persicely that many chickens lay eggs at anytime when they want.

 

and how the heck does half of a friggin chicken do ANYTHING?!
