Answer:

39 chickens lays 234 eggs

Explanation:

First, find the rate for 1 chicken. Divide the total with the amount of chickens there is:

120/20 = 6

Each chicken lays 6 eggs.

Now, you are solving for 39 chickens. Multiply the amount each chicken lays with the amount of chickens total:

39 x 6 = 234

234 is your answer
