5. A farmer knows that 20 of his hens, housed in three coops, will hatch 30 eggs in 18 days. How long will it take 30 hens, housed in four coops to hatch the same number of eggs?
6. When manufacturing bars of soap, the cutting machine produces scraps. The scraps from 11 bars of soap can be made into one extra bar of soap. What is the total number of bars that can be made after cutting 250 bars of soap?
