Question

A cooking teacher needs to give each student in his class three eggs to use in a recipe. There are 44 students in the class. How many dozen eggs should the teacher buy?

Answer 1

3 times 44 is 132, 132 divided by 12 is 11
The teacher should buy 11 dozen eggs.

Answer 2

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.
