Question: Giselle had 20 female doves in a birdhouse. After a month, the doves laid 3 eggs each. If 3/4 of the eggs hatched, calculate the total number of doves Giselle has now. Think carefully first, then make a decision:
If Giselle had 20 doves that laid 3 eggs each, the total number of eggs in the birdhouse is 20 * 3 = 60 eggs. If 3 / 4 of the eggs hatched into birds, their total number is 3 / 4 * 60 = 45. In the birdhouse, there are 20 initial doves + 45 new squabs = 65 birds. So the answer is 65.
