i am new. this seems like a good community
I interpreted the question as 5 eggs in total and not 5 eggs per hen. So, I concluded that 1 egg per day per hen. This resulted in 1 day for 100 hens at 1 egg per day. Someone tell me why this question has to be interpreted 5 eggs in total. I don't understand.

It does not. It requires that you recognize that it takes a single hen 5 days to hatch an egg. If that hen could sit on 100 eggs laid on the same day, they would all hatch in five days.

It does not take 5 days for a hen to lay 1 egg (they can lay close to an egg a day), nor does it take 5 days for an egg to hatch (much longer). The question should specify 5 eggs in total or 5 eggs per hen a day (which is not uncommon).
That was a nice succinct answer. Bravo
Hi A. Cooper, I agree (though I think you meant the opposite in your first sentence). The question is missing a specification. It should make clear they hatch a combined total of 5 eggs in 5 days.
The solution is simply that: a single hen egg give us permission every 5 100 chickens need to give us five days to 100 eggs
Yaaaa............interetig.................😅
the solution is simply a single hen egg give us permit every 5 100 chickens need to give us 5 days to 100 eggs
you can use joint variation
5 solutions at the time of writing...

goes to show that while reality is always one (right?), our understandings are anything but.
actually in 5 days 1 hen lays 1 egg...so in 5 days every 1 from 100 hen's will lay 1 egg summing up to 100
Nice question,dude
Lol! Nice question
Good solution!!! and nicely explained!!!
IM NEW to this......I HOPE it will help me a more
good solution and explaination also
Tricky Questation
brilliant............
really brilliant!!!!!
Very good trick question, I think
I should have known it was a trick question.

same here but 100 hens need 5 days to hatch 1 egg each I realize
N1 number of hen take D1 number of days to do W1 work,ie, 5 eggs here.... N2 number of hen take D2 number of days to do W2 work( 100 eggs ).... N1=5 N2=100 D1= 5 D2 = ? W1 = 5 W2 = 100.
(N1 * D1) / W1 = (N2 * D2) / W2
N1 number of hen take D1 number of days to do W1 work,ie, 5 eggs here.... N2 number of hen take D2 number of days to do W2 work( 100 eggs ).... N1=5 N2=100 D1= 5 D2 = ? W1 = 5 W2 = 100. (N1 * D1) / W1 = (N2 * D2) / W2 (5 * 5)/5=(100 * X)/100, 25/5=100X/100, 5=X
(5 * 5)/5=(100 * X)/100, 25/5=100X/100, 5=X
My Answer is : 20 Days
Since 5 hens required 5 days to hatch 5 eggs, then it is obvious that at the same time when hundreds of them are hatching the same number of eggs then it remain the same number of days.....
5hens for 5 eggs in 5 days , probably 1 hen hatch 1 egg in 5 day,,,
The question is ambiguous; do 5 hens hatch 5 eggs EACH or 1 egg each = 5? (Ever lived on a farm?)
My Answer is : 20 Days
It is (5×5)/5=(100×X)/100 So X= 5, thus the answer is 5. Simple.
For 5 hens it would take 5 days to hatch 5 eggs.It's no matter how many hens are there.It would take 5 days to hatch egg for a hen.so the answer is 5.
5 hens needs 5 days needs to hatch 5 eggs = 1 hen needs 5 days to hatch 1 egg. So, 100 hens needs 5 days for hatch 100 eggs
My Answer is : 20 Days
Since 5 hens required 5 days to hatch 5 eggs, then it is obvious that at the same time when hundreds of them are hatching the same number of eggs then it remain the same number of days means 5 days or solve ( 5 5)/5=(100 x)/100 u would get 5
My Answer is : 20 Days
it takes same 5 days because they hatch simultaneously
M1 number of people to take D1 number of days to do W1 works.ie 5hens need 5 days to hatch 5 eggs.then how many days would it take 100 hens to hatch 100 eggs? SOLUTION : the formula is M1 D1/W1=M2 D2/W2 M1=5, D1=5, W1=5; M2=100, W2=100, D2=? 5X5/5=100XA/100 5=100A/100 5=A
the answer is 5
good solution explanation
one hen requires 5 days ,so 100 egg hatched in 5 days by 100 hens
5 hen 5day 5 egg. 1hen 5day 1egg. 1hen 1egg 5day. 1hen 100 egg 500 day. 100hen 100 egg (500/100)= 5 days
Tricky options were there but in last i got it correct...
it takes 5days for 100 hens to hatch 100eggs... 5days for each hen..
x = 5 * 100/5 * 5/100 = 5
shrcut.....H D/E.....5 5/5=100*X(SUPPOSE)/100=5
This is literally beyond simple.. Plz... 5 takes 5 days, 100, should still take 5...
Write a solution. independent of number of eggs and hens in the question time for hatching of an egg is 5 thus even for 100 egg and hen the time is 5 days
5 egg by 5 hens in 5days then 1 hen need 5 days for one egg then 100 hens need 5 days for 100 egg :)
5 hen 5day 5 egg.
1hen 5day 1egg.
1hen 1egg 5day.
1hen 100 egg 500 day.
100hen 100 egg (500/100)= 5 days
offcourse Ans-5 days
Math is also logic, it does not need to do the calculation.
Each hen hatches 0.2 eggs per day (obviously not possible but for this case lets say it is). By that logic, 100 hens will hatch 20 eggs in 1 day (0.2 * 100). This continues until after 5 days, 100 eggs are hatched.
If 5 hens require 5 days to hatch 5 eggs, each egg takes 5 days. So, if there are 100 eggs and 100 hens it is still 5 days for 1 hen to hatch 1 egg.
What it matters is each hen takes 5 days to be hatched by a hen so what ever the number of eggs to be hatched we just consider the 100 eggs to be hatched by 100 hens i.e, each egg is hatched by each hen in 5 days finally the answer is 5
Obviously true no I understand
The solution is simply that: a single hen egg give us permission every 5 100 chickens need to give us five days to 100 eggs
My Answer is : 20 Days
let makes 20 groups of 5 hens... each group can give 1 egg per day...;so from 20 groups 20 eggs...! means 100 eggs in 100/20=5 days....
5 hens requires 5days to hatch 5eggs similarly 100hens can also requires same number of days to hatch 100eggs .so answer is 5days

5 hens requires 5 days to hatch 5 eggs. So 1 hen will require 5 days to hatch 1 egg. Therefore 100 hens will require 5 days to hatch 1 eggs each.
