D) 18

Answer 1

Carrie bought 2 dozen bagels and asked for 3/4 of them to be honey grain. There were 18 honey grain bagels.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1 dozen, there are 12 bagels. So in 2 dozen, there are 2 x 12 = 24 bagels. Carrie asked for 3/4 of them to be honey grain. To find out how many bagels are honey grain, we need to multiply 3/4 by 24.

Using the multiplication property of fractions, 3/4 x 24 = (3 x 24) / 4 = 72 / 4 = 18.

Therefore, there were 18 honey grain bagels.
