Question

Matthew has 2 dozen eggs. He uses 5/6 of the first dozen and 10/12 of the second dozen for baking.

How many eggs were left over?

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

A dozen (commonly abbreviated doz or dz) is a grouping of twelve, 12.

So each dozen has 12 eggs.

First dozen, egg left is 1/6 × 12 = 2

Second dozen, egg left is 2/12 × 12 = 2

Total eggs were left over is 2+2=4
