Final answer:
To find the simplified fraction of a 2-dozen carton of eggs with 18 remaining, you divide 18 by 24, which gives you 18/24. Simplifying this fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by 6 gives you 3/4. However, none of the provided answer choices match this simplified fraction.
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer the student's question: "A 2-dozen carton of eggs has 18 remaining. Write this as a fraction in simplest form. A. 6/4 B. 9/12 C. 3/2 D. 18/24", we start by recognizing the total number of eggs that a 2-dozen carton holds, which is 24 (since 1 dozen equals 12 eggs). Out of these, 18 eggs are remaining.
To write this as a fraction, we put the number of remaining eggs over the total number of eggs in the carton, which gives us 18/24. Then, we simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 6 in this case. So, 18 ÷ 6 = 3 and 24 ÷ 6 = 4, giving us the simplified fraction 3/4.
However, none of the answer choices match this simplified form, so it looks like there is an error in the options provided. None of the provided options A, B, C, or D are the simplified form of 18/24.
