Answer:

24 days

Explanation:

To start, let's find how long it takes for 2 chickens to lay 1 1/2 eggs. We need to multiply the number of chickens by 2 / (1 1/2) to get 2 / (3/2) or 4/3. After doing this, they will work 4/3 as fast on laying eggs, so it will take 3/4 of the amount of time, or 3/2 * 3/4 = 9/8 days. Now, we need to find how many days it takes to lay 32 eggs, and since it was 3/2 eggs, we need to multiply this by some amount to make it 32. This value is 32 / (3/2), or 32 * 2/3 or 64/3. Multiply 64/3 by 9/8 to get 24 days.
