A production statistic shows that it takes 2 chickens to produce 6 eggs in 24 hours. How many chickens are needed to produce 24 eggs in 24 hours?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
If 2 chickens produce 6 eggs in 24 hours, it means each chicken produces 3 eggs in 24 hours. To produce 24 eggs, you would need to calculate 24 eggs ?À 3 eggs per chicken = 8 chickens. Therefore, 8 chickens are needed to produce 24 eggs in 24 hours. This calculation is based on the proportionality of the number of chickens to the number of eggs produced, ensuring the correct quantity of chickens is determined for the desired egg output.
