If 4 frogs lay 4 eggs in 4 days, and 3 ducks lay 3 eggs in 3 days, and 2 hens lay 2 eggs twice in two days, how many eggs will 1 frog, 1 duck and 1 hen lay in total from the beginning of February to the end of March in a leap year?
Answer
95
If 4 frogs lay 4 eggs in 4 days, then 1 frog would lay 1 egg every 4 days. Using the same logic, we can say that 1 duck would lay 1 egg every three days.
If 2 hens lay 2 eggs twice in 2 days, then that means 2 hens would lay 4 eggs in 2 days. Using the same logic as before we can say that 1 hen lays 2 eggs every 2 days; therefore, it lays 1 egg per day.
In a leap year, February has 29 days and March has 31, which is a total of 60 days.
At a rate of 1 egg per day, the hen would lay 60 eggs. At 1 egg every 3 days, the duck would lay 20 eggs. And at 1 egg every 4 days the frog would lay 15 eggs.
60 + 20 + 15 = 95
