Answer 1

To write 18 eggs remaining out of a 2-dozen carton of eggs as a fraction in simplest form, we need to express the number of remaining eggs as a fraction over the total number of eggs in the carton. The simplified fraction is 3/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

To write 18 eggs remaining out of a 2-dozen carton of eggs as a fraction in simplest form, we need to express the number of remaining eggs as a fraction over the total number of eggs in the carton. A dozen is equal to 12, so a 2-dozen carton will have 2 x 12 = 24 eggs. Therefore, the fraction is 18/24.

We can simplify this fraction by finding the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerator and denominator, which is 6. Dividing both the numerator and denominator by 6 gives us the simplified fraction of 3/4. Hence, the answer is option A, 3/4.
