Question

Dory's grandma runs a chicken farm. The number of eggs her hens lay is given by the equation e = 3h, where e is the number of eggs and h is the number of hens. If there are 500 hens on the farm, how many eggs would they lay at this rate?

Answer 1

Plug in 500 for h in the equation and you get:
e=3 (500)
e=1500

Answer 2

Answer: 1,500

Explanation:

Given : The number of eggs her hens lay is given by the equation

`e = 3h`where e is the number of eggs and h is the number of hens.

If there are 500 hens on the farm, then the number of eggs her hens lay is given by : -

`e = 3(500)\\\\\Rightarrow\ e=1500`

Therefore, number of eggs her hens lay at the given rate = 1,500.
