This simple mathematical equation is found by knowing that one earthworm
is six inches and two earthworms is twelve inches (one foot). So that
means that 14 earthworms is 7 feet. Since 7 feet is not long enough, we
doubled the simple equation of 7 feet which equals 14 feet. We also
doubled 14 earthworms which equals 28 earthworms. Then we multiplide 28
earthworms by 4 which equals 112 earthworms. So in other words one chick
would eat 28 earthworms a day. And four chicks would demand 112
earthworms a day.
