Question

Nasheem is going to make breakfast for his family. He has a carton of dozen eggs and uses 2/3 of them. How many eggs did Nasheem use? How many eggs does he have left?

Answer 1

Explanation:

He uses (2/3)(12 eggs) = 8 eggs.

He has (12-8), or 4, eggs left.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Number of eggs = 1 dozen = 12 eggs

Number of used eggs = 2/3 * 12 (Total eggs will be multiplied by used eggs)

2/3*12

2*4

=8 eggs

Number of used eggs= 8 eggs

To find the number of left eggs. Simply subtract the used eggs from total eggs

12-8 = 4eggs

4 eggs were left....
