Answer: There are 11 dozen eggs that the teacher should buy.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of students in the class = 44

Number of eggs given to each student = 3

So, Total number of eggs for 44 students would be

$44* 3\\\\=132$

As we know that

1 dozen = 12 eggs

1 egg =
(1)/(12)

132 eggs =
(132)/(12)=11

Hence, there are 11 dozen eggs that the teacher should buy.
