Answer:
A. To find out how many eggs were in the flat, you need to use the information that 5 eggs were cracked, which is 1/6 of the total number of eggs in the flat.
If 5 eggs is 1/6 of the total number of eggs in the flat, then you can set up an equation to find the total number of eggs:
5 eggs = (1/6) * x
Where x is the total number of eggs in the flat.
To solve for x, you can cross-multiply to get:
5 eggs * 6 = 1 * x
Which gives:
x = 30
So there were 30 eggs in the flat.
B. To find out what percent of the eggs in the flat were not cracked, you need to know how many eggs were not cracked and divide that number by the total number of eggs in the flat, and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage.
Since 5 eggs were cracked and there were 30 eggs in the flat, you can find the number of eggs that were not cracked by subtracting the number of cracked eggs from the total number of eggs:
30 eggs - 5 eggs = 25 eggs
So 25 eggs were not cracked.
To find the percentage, you can divide the number of eggs that were not cracked by the total number of eggs in the flat and multiply by 100:
(25 eggs / 30 eggs) * 100 = 83.33%
So, 83.33% of the eggs in the flat were not cracked.
