This is a classic. Although there is literally no such thing as a chicken-and-a-half or an egg-and-a-half, we can still solve the problem. If you determine the rate at which one chicken lays one egg, you can calculate the answer. Given: 1.5 eggs per 1.5 chickens per 1.5 days. So, one chicken can lay one egg in 1.5 days. Hence, it will take one chicken 12 times 1.5, or 18, days to lay a dozen eggs.

If one and a half farmers have one and a half chickens which lay one and a half eggs in one and a half days and if an egg sells for one and a half dollars then how much can 10 farmers make in 10 days?

... well that's stupid whos chiken would lay half an egg! i think the answer is 15 One and a half farmers owning one and a half chickens - is the same as one farmer to one chicken. We can forget about farmers and just focus on chickens. One and a half eggs in one and a half days is the same as two eggs in three days. In ten days one chicken lays 10*2/3 = 6 2/3 eggs ten chickens in ten days lay 60 + 6 + 2/3 = 66 2/3 66 2/3 eggs at $1.5 66 2/3 * 3/2 = 99+6 = $105 10 farmers would make $105 in ten days.
