20 chickens in 3 coups will hatch 30 eggs in 18 days. Can you work out how long it would take 30 chickens in 4 coups to hatch the same number of eggs

It would take 12 days. Given the question, the number of coups is irrelevant since no correlation can be made to the number of eggs hatched or the number of days it takes.

Hatching time is rather constant. Usually it is more than 18 days.



Using your example the answer is 18 days. It is NOT a complex problem, it is just a matter of reading the question properly.

It takes 21 days to hatch a chicken egg, no matter how many hens set or how many coops they set in.
