if a chicken and a half lay a egg and a half how many eggs will 6 chickens lay in 3 days?

18. 1 egg per chicken per day, so 1 x 6 x 3

Yes\nKill a cat     -   4 dogs  3 cats 6 chickens\nKill a dog     -   3 dogs  5 cats 4 chickens\nKill a cat     -   4 dogs  4 cats 5 chickens\nKill a chicken -   3 dogs 2 cats 4 chickens\nKill a dog     -   2 dogs 4 cats 2 chickens\nKill a cat     -   3 dogs 3 cats 3 chickens

A hen can only lay an egg if it has been fertilised. Unfertilised eggs (ova) remain within the egg. Only if the ova are fertilised do they progress further, to enclose the zygote/embryo within a calcified shell (egg) which is then laid.\nTherefore its is impossible for a laid egg to be haploid (n) because such an egg just wouldnt be laid.

Grrrr.. Another homwwoek relp Q.\nAnyways i am here to earn points\n\nP + C = 50 /* Num of heads.. Each has one head*/\n\n4P + 2C =  110 /* Num of feet Pig has 4,chicken 2*/\n\nSolving these gives:\nP = 5 and C =45

Maybe those 3 eggs were unfertilized.  The hen that laid them may be part of the group of hens that are kept separate from roosters so that their eggs are kept unfertilized in order to sell them to markets without having to worry about the possibility of having a chick in it.  Or if there were chicks maybe they never developed.  This is why they say "Never count your chickens before they hatch".

If it takes \na hen and a half \na day and a half\nto lay an egg and a half\nHow long would it take for\na cross-eyed grasshopper \nwith a wooden leg\nto kick the seads\nout of a watermelon?

If you mean laying eggs, then they can lay every day if they are well fed and taken care of.\n\nIf you mean incubation period, the egg will hatch in about 21 days.

In captivity, females may lay as many as 100 egg in a season, although 20 to 40 are more common. \nIn North America, the breeding season is from February to October

OK - let's assume that Large Chicken is A, Medium Chicken is B, and Small Chicken is C. \n\nA+B=10.6\nA+C=8.5\nB+C=6.1\n\nNow, logically: 10.6+8.5 = (A+B)+(A+C), or 2A+(B+C)\n\nSo - 10.6+8.5=2A+6.1 ~ 19.1=2A+6.1 ~ 19.1-6.1=2A ~ 13=2A ~ A=6.5\n\nSo, if A=6.5, then (10.6-6.5)=B ~ B=4.1\nand (8.5-6.5)=C ~ C=2.0\n\nTHEREFORE:\nA=6.5 - Large Chicken\nB=4.1 - Medium Chicken\nC=2.0 - Small Chicken

I believe a flat of eggs holds 30 eggs.  That is the size I buy at the store.\nHope this helps.

I can't find any infomation about the interval between mating and egg laying in house sparrows, specifically. But with most birds it takes a couple of days for the egg to form. Some will wait up to a week.

The eggs hatch in about 60 days

There are 2 ways to work this out\n\n1) You have 2 equations for 3 unknowns so you can solve for one in terms of the other\n\nlet x be the number of chickens, y be the number of goats and z the number of cows, then we know\n\n0.05X + Y + 5Z = 100 and\n\nX + Y + Z = 100\n\nTherefore \n\n0.05X + Y + 5Z = X + Y + Z \n\n0.05X -1X +5Z - Z =0\n\n4Z = 0.95 X\n\nZ = 0.95/4 X\n\nor since we have to be in whole numbers\n\nZ = 95/400 X = 19/80X\n\nSince 19 is a prime, this is the minimum number of cows there can be, and there must be 80 chickens to go along with this.\n\nThat leaves 1 Goat. Check back and we find we have 80 chickens (4 $) 1 goat (1 $) and 19 cows (95 $) and both animals and money add up to 100\n\n2) Chickens cost 0,05, and since the cost is a whole number of $, the number of chickens must be a multiple of 20 and therefore there can only be 20, 40 60 or 80 chickens\n\n20 chickens : there are 99 $ left with which to buy things and 80 aminals left to buy.\n\n40 chickens : there are 98 $ left with which to buy things and 60 aminals left to buy.\n\n60 chickens : there are 97 $ left with which to buy things and 40 aminals left to buy.\n\n80 chickens : there are 96 $ left with which to buy things and 20 aminals left to buy.\n\nLets look at the 20 chicken case\n\nY + 5Z = 98 : Y = 98 - 5Z\nY + Z = 80 : Y = 80 - Z\n98 - 5Z = 80 - Z\ntherefore 4Z = 18, Z = 18/4 = 4.5 not feasible\n\nYou can do the same with the 40 and 60 chicken cases, you will find they are also un feasible.\n\nLets take the 80 chicken case.\n\nY + 5Z = 96 : Y = 96 - 5Z\nY + Z = 20 : Y = 20 -Z\n96 - 5Z = 20 - Z\n76 = 4Z\nZ= 76/4= 19\n\nTherefore Y = 1\n\nThe same 80 chickens, 19 cows and a goat\n\nOkay?

D.  The egg is a gamete, which contains half the amount of chromosomes that the body cell normally carries.

The hen of course. Each species was sent in pair and then they multiplied. Imagine a mammal, it does not lay eggs, so it must have come as in its animal form first.

45 heads is 150 feet. X is birds,  Y is beasts; X + Y must equal 45 (45 total beasts). Each bird has 2 legs, each beast has 4, so 2X + 4Y = 150.\n\nIf X + Y = 45, then 2X + 2Y = 90.\n\n(2X + 4Y) - (2X - 2Y) = 60, so 2Y = 60. Thus Y = 30. If Y =  30, and X + Y = 45, then X = 45 - Y = 45 - 30 = 15.\n\nTherefore there are 30 beasts (120 legs) and 15 birds (30 legs) for a total of 150 legs.

Depends on the bird. Usually it is inversly proportional to the size of the cache of eggs. Chickens for example lay a great number of eggs because they are flightless and pretty much defenseless. Mortality is high so the species compensates with prodicious egg laying. Interestingly this makes them an excellent livestock choice which has certainly contributed to the survival of the species.
