+2862 On the middle school math's section, an interesting problem popped up.
IF a hen and half
lays an egg and a half
in a day and a half,
how many and a half
who lay better by half
will lay half a score and a half
in a week and a half?
It is heavily debated whether \(\frac{14}{15}\) or \(0.5\) is the answer.
Also, when they say "will lay half a score", do they mean half of eighty?
I need help interpreting this problem my brain is muddled
< when they say "will lay half a score", do they mean half of eighty? >
No. A score is 20, so half a score is 10.
.
+2862 oh sorry I confused it with Abraham Lincoln's gettyburg speech thats why I though it was 80.
"four score and seven years ago"
