2hens..

Explanation;
1.5hens lay 1.5eggs in 1.5days which means that 1 hen lays 1 egg in one day.

For 6days, 6eggs will be layed by one hen.
Therefore, for you to get 12eggs(a dozen) in 6days, you will need TWO hens

1½ hens × 1½ days × RATE = 1½ eggs
We convert this to fractions thus:
3/2 hens × 3/2 days × RATE = 3/2 eggs

Multiplying both sides of the equation by 2/3, we get:
1 hen × 3/2 days × RATE = 1 egg

Multiplying both sides of the equation again by 2/3 and solving for RATE, we get:
RATE = 2/3 eggs per hen·day

Now that we know the rate at which hens lay eggs, we can calculate how many hens (H) can produce 12 eggs in six days using the following equation:

H hens × 6 days × 2/3 eggs per hen·day = 12 eggs

Solving for H, we get:
H = 12 eggs /(6 days × 2/3 eggs per hen·day) = 12/4 = 3 hens

Therefore, the farmer needs 3 hens to produce 12 eggs in 6 days.

The farmer need three hens since it will take a hen a day and half to lay just an egg
So after 3days, a hen will have 2 eggs and 3 hens will have 6 eggs in 3 days so 12 eggs in 6 days for 3 hens
