Answer 1

2400 eggs

Explanation:

1. To find out how many eggs the poultry farmer had originally, we have to reverse the steps of him selling and eating this eggs.

• This means to basically multiply 400 by the reciprocal (inverse) of 1/2 and 1/3.

2. (Solving)

• 
  `(2)(3)(400)`
• 
  `(6)(400)`
• 
  `2400`

Therefore, he had 2400 eggs originally.
