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.
