Though I must say, I do not approve of this barbaric treatment of chickens! ;)

Re: Math question
I believe three chickens would be laying six eggs in three days.
Or 2/3 eggs per chicken, per day.
EDIT:And it would appear someone is a faster typist than I am.

Re: Math question
Just telling the final result is half-answer. Explain it ;)
Me yet counting, my current guss is also 6, but it might be wrong.

Re: Math question
Explained in the spoiler:
And i still do not approve of cutting chickens in half while they're still alive enough to lay eggs. That's cruel and unusual punishment that is ;)

Well, if we have c chickens laying e eggs each per time unit, and t time units pass. then we have E total eggs.
E = c * e * t.
Now we double the number of chickens and the number of time units so we have:
2 * c * e * 2 * t = 2 * 2 * c * e * t = 4 * c * e * t = 4 * E
We know that E is 1.5 so 4 * E = 6.
E = c * e * t.
Now we double the number of chickens and the number of time units so we have:
2 * c * e * 2 * t = 2 * 2 * c * e * t = 4 * c * e * t = 4 * E
We know that E is 1.5 so 4 * E = 6.

Re: Math question
Same result for me, but on a different way (or just different explanation of that method? <.<)

(lets remain with the c = chicken, e = egg, and t = time (day))
we have:
1,5 c ..... 1,5 t ..... 1,5 e
this means that:
1 c ..... 1,5 t ..... 1 e
wich means, that the chicken, by the end of the first day, is finished the 66.6% of the egg-producing process
1 c ..... 1 t .....66.6 % e (where 100% means 1 e) in short: the chickens production rate is 66% egg / day
this means, that by the end of the 3rd day, 1 chicken is finished with 200% (3 * 66.6%) wich means 2 eggs
if we count 1 c ..... 3 t ..... 2 e, then
3 c ..... 3 t ..... 6 e (with the 66.6% e / t production rate)
but I'm yet not sure, idk why I remember that on math class the result was different (9 or something)
