The Math Problem of the Week #2

Three hens laid 3 eggs in 3 days.

How many eggs will 12 hens lay in 12 days?


After one week, no one has yet to solve the problem below, our first Math Problem of the Week.  I commend the students that have approached me to submit answers, but unfortunately, none of the responses I received were correct. I will still accept any responses but there's a new problem for this week (see above).  When you think you know the answer, write your name and homeroom number on a piece of paper, along with the answer, and bring it to Mr. Restoule General in the resource room.

Every Thursday, Mr. Restoule General will put all the correct answers into a draw and pull out a winner. The winner will receive a free slice of pizza on Friday.  Correct answers will stay in the draw for future prizes.

Good luck!!  You have until next Thursday morning (September 26th) to solve this problem.  I will still give a prize for anyone who solves last week's problem (below).
