Question

Farmer Jim keeps 12 hens in every cooper if farmer Jim has 20 coops

a) how many hens does she have ?

b) if every hens lays 9 eggs on Monday how many eggs will farmer Jim collect on Monday

a) 240 hens

b) 2160 eggs

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Farmer Jim keeps 12 hens in every cooper if farmer Jim has 20 coops

Hence,

1 coop = 12 hens

20 coops = y hens

Cross Multiply

y hens = 20 coops × 12 hens/1 coop

y hens = 240 hens

Therefore Farmer Jim has 240 hens

b) We are told in question b that: if every hens lays 9 eggs on Monday how many eggs will farmer Jim collect on Monday?

From question a) we determine that the number of hens that Farmer Jim has:

240 hens

Hence,

1 hen = 9 eggs

240 hens = z eggs

z eggs = 240 hens × 9 eggs/1 hen

z eggs = 2160 eggs

Therefore, on Monday Farmer Jim will collect 2160 eggs

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
