Question

a farmer has 6 cartons of speacilty eggs for sale each carton contains 12 eggs if 2/3 of the eggs are brown eggs what is the total number of brown eggs he has for sale

Answer 1

Assuming there are 12 eggs in each carton, multiply the number of eggs by the number of cartons.

12 * 6 = 72.


Then, divide.


72 ÷ (2/3) = 48.


There are 18 brown eggs for sale.

Answer 2

If there are 12 eggs in each carton then 12×6=72. Then you have to divide 72÷2/3 which equals 48
