Answers:
Two hens lay four eggs in three days!. That means that each hen
laid two eggs during those three days, so each hen lays 2/3 of an egg
per day!. Now if you had five hens and six days, they would lay five
times as many eggs per day, totaling 10/3 per day; multiply that by 6
days, and there would be 20 eggs!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
