Answer:

Average number of eggs for each chicken is 2.5 eggs

Explanation:

If 12 chickens lays 30eggs

i.e 12 chickens = 30eggs

To find number of eggs laid by each chicken we can, by simply dividing the number of eggs by the number of chickens.

Let x represent number of eggs of 1chicken

12 chickens = 30 eggs

1 chicken = x eggs

We cross multiple

x eggs * 12chickens = 30eggs * 1 chicken

To get value of x divide both side by 12 chickens

= x eggs * 12chickens / 12chickens = 30eggs * 1 chicken / 12chickens

= x eggs = 2.5 eggs

= x = 2.5

Therefore, 1 chicken = 2.5 eggs

Since it is not possible to have 2.5 eggs, we say:

Average number of eggs for each chicken is 2.5 eggs
