If two birds nest can hold six eggs, how many eggs are in seven nest

Calculate Eggs per Nest: Let's determine how many eggs one nest can hold. Since two nests can hold six eggs, we divide the total number of eggs by the number of nests to find the number of eggs per nest. Calculation: 6 eggs ÷ 2 nests = 3 eggs per nestDetermine Total Eggs: Now that we know each nest can hold 3 eggs, we can find out how many eggs seven nests can hold by multiplying the number of eggs per nest by the number of nests. Calculation: 3 eggs per nest × 7 nests = 21 eggs

nest

Calculate Eggs per Nest: Let's determine how many eggs one nest can hold. Since two nests can hold six eggs, we divide the total number of eggs by the number of nests to find the number of eggs per nest. $\newline$ Calculation: $6$ eggs $\div$ $2$ nests = $3$ eggs per nest
Determine Total Eggs: Now that we know each nest can hold $3$ eggs, we can find out how many eggs seven nests can hold by multiplying the number of eggs per nest by the number of nests. $\newline$ Calculation: $3$ eggs per nest $\times 7$ nests $= 21$ eggs
