Given:

There are 6 chickens lay 48 eggs in 4 days.

Required:

We need to find that how many days will it take 10 chickens to lay 100 eggs.

Step-by-step explanation:

6 chickens lay 48 eggs 4 days

now to find that how many eggs lay by 6 chicken in 1 day we need to divide 48 and 4 with 4

so

6 chickens lay 12 eggs in 1 day

now to find for 1 chicken lay how many eggs in 1 day we need to divide with 6

so

1 chicken lays 2 eggs in 1 day

here we need to find for 10 chickens

so

10 chickens lay 20 eggs in 1 day

but here we need 100 eggs but we can now add more chicken so we need to as more days

so for 100 eggs we need 5 days

because

20 eggs in 1 days

then

100 eggs in 5 days by 10 chickens

Final answer:

it take 5 days by 10 chickens to lay 100 eggs.
