If two chickens eat 800 gram of feed in two days, how much does one chicken eat daily? Formulate the question formally, and answer it by calculating the result.

Let's denote:

The amount of feed as F (in grams)
The number of chickens as C
The number of days as D

From the problem, we know that 2 chickens (C = 2) eat 800 grams of feed (F = 800) in 2 days (D = 2). This can be formulated as:

F = 800 grams
C = 2 chickens
D = 2 days

We want to find out how much one chicken (C = 1) eats in one day (D = 1). We can formulate this as:

F' = ? (the amount of feed one chicken eats in one day)
C' = 1 chicken
D' = 1 day

The relationship between the amount of feed, the number of chickens, and the number of days can be expressed as:

F / (C * D) = F' / (C' * D')

Substituting the known values:

800 / (2 * 2) = F' / (1 * 1)

Solving for F' gives us:

F' = 200 grams

So, one chicken eats 200 grams of feed daily.

Let's try to solve this problem step by step. We are given that a chicken and a half (1.5 chickens) lays an egg and a half (1.5 eggs) in a day and a half (1.5 days). We want to find out how many eggs a single chicken lays in one day. Formulate the question formally, and answer it by calculating the result.

Sure, let's break this down:

We know that 1.5 chickens lay 1.5 eggs in 1.5 days.
We want to find out how many eggs 1 chicken lays in 1 day.

We can set up a proportion to solve this. If we let E be the number of eggs 1 chicken lays in 1 day, we can write the proportion as:

(1.5 chickens / 1.5 eggs) = (1 chicken / E eggs)

We can solve this proportion for E to find the number of eggs 1 chicken lays in 1 day. Let's calculate this.

Apologies for the confusion, it seems there was a misunderstanding in the formulation of the problem. Let's try to solve it again.

We know that 1.5 chickens lay 1.5 eggs in 1.5 days. This can be simplified to say that 1 chicken lays 1 egg in 1.5 days. We want to find out how many eggs 1 chicken lays in 1 day.

Let's denote the number of eggs 1 chicken lays in 1 day as E. We can set up the following equation:

1 chicken lays 1 egg in 1.5 days = 1 chicken lays E eggs in 1 day

Let's solve this equation for E.

We are given that a chicken and a half (1.5 chickens) lays an egg and a half (1.5 eggs) in a day and a half (1.5 days). We want to find out how many eggs a single chicken lays in one day. Formulate the question formally, and answer it by explicit calculation.

The problem can be formulated as follows:

Given that 1.5 chickens lay 1.5 eggs in 1.5 days, we want to find out how many eggs a single chicken lays in one day.

We can solve this problem by setting up a proportion.

Let's denote the number of eggs a single chicken lays in one day as \(x\).

We know that 1.5 chickens lay 1.5 eggs in 1.5 days. Therefore, the rate of egg laying per chicken per day is:

\(\frac{1.5 \text{ eggs}}{1.5 \text{ chickens} \times 1.5 \text{ days}} = \frac{1.5}{1.5 \times 1.5} = \frac{1}{1.5} = \frac{2}{3}\) eggs per chicken per day.

So, a single chicken lays \(\frac{2}{3}\) of an egg in one day.
