Answer 1

4 eggs are needed per a batch of cookies for Deanna

Solution:

Given, Deanna has a cookie recipe that requires 12 eggs to make 3 batches of cookies.

We have to find how many eggs are needed per batch of cookies?

By writing and solving the equation that represents the situation.

Now, let the number of eggs required per batch be "n"

Then, according to given information,

`\begin{array}{l}{\text { Number of batches } * \text { number of eggs per batch }=\text { total required eggs }} \\\\ {\rightarrow 3 * n=12} \\\\ {\rightarrow 3 n=12} \\\\ {\rightarrow n=4}\end{array}`

Hence, 4 eggs are needed per a batch of cookies.
