A chicken and a half lay one half of an egg in two days and a half, how many eggs does a chicken lay in a month?

Here's my best shot at this one....

 

Assuming 30 days in a month, there are 30 days//2.5 days = 12 producing cycles in the month

 

And in each of these cycles......1/2 of an egg is produced....so.....12 * 1/2  =  6 eggs are produced in a month by 1 1/2 chickens

 

Then......1 chicken  must be able to produce only  2/3 of what 1.5 chickens can produce in a month  since 1/1.5  = 2/3.....so......(2/3) * 6   = 4 eggs

 

 

cool cool cool
