Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming both birds have just laid an egg when the clock starts.

at 1 hour, no egg             egg count

at 2 hrs  goose egg               1

at 3 hrs hen egg                    2            

at 4 hrs goose egg                3

at 5 hrs no egg                      3

at 6 hrs goose and hen egg  5

we are now back to where we started where each bird has laid an egg

We get 5 eggs every 6 hours

We need 20/5 = 4 six hour periods to complete the task

6(4) = 24 hrs to complete the task
