Answer 1

(E) Other

To make 144 slices of cake, Emma will need 18 large eggs.

To solve this problem, we need to know how much 2 dozen is.

• 1 dozen = 12

• 2 dozen = 24

So, for every 24 slices of cake, 3 eggs are needed.

To figure out how many slices of cake 1 egg can make, we can divide 24 by 3.

• 24 ÷ 3 = 8

• 3 ÷ 3 = 1

Now, for every 8 slices of cake, 1 egg is needed.

Now, taking 144, we can divide that by 8 to get the number of eggs needed.

• 144 ÷ 8 = 18

Therefore, 18 eggs will be needed to make 144 slices of cake.
