Answer:

2400 eggs

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To find out how many eggs the poultry farmer had originally, we have to reverse the steps of him selling and eating this eggs.

  • This means to basically multiply 400 by the reciprocal (inverse) of 1/2 and 1/3.

2. (Solving)

  • [tex](2)(3)(400)[/tex]
  • [tex](6)(400)[/tex]
  • [tex]2400[/tex]

Therefore, he had 2400 eggs originally.
