Took the test

Answer 2

Since every female chicken lays 4 eggs, if you have one chicken you have 4 eggs, if you have two chicken you have 8 eggs, and so on.

We can even build a little table to show some values:

`\begin{array}c1&4\\2&8\\3&12\\4&16\\5&20\\\vdots & \vdots\\n& 4n\end{array}`

So, as you can see, the ratio between the number of eggs and the number of female chicken is 4.
