Gaston claims to eat 6 dozen eggs every morning.If the hens in his town lay 2 eggs per day, what is the equation that represents the relationship between the total number of eggs Gaston eats each morning and the number of hens (h) needed to support his diet?

i put 72 eggs = 36h because that makes sense right? but it’s saying that the 36 hens is incorrect

Respuesta :

Answer:

72 = 2h

Step-by-step explanation:

6 dozens = 6×12 = 72

72 = 2h

Each hen lays eggs, so h hens will lay 2×h eggs

The equation you've made implies every hen lays 36 eggs

72 = 2h is the equation,

Which simplifies to

h = 36
