Question

A chef takes c cartons of eggs from the refrigerator. Each carton contains 12 eggs. The chef wants to have a total of at least 50 eggs.

Answer 1

Answer: 5 cartons

Explanation:

If the Chef wants to have a total of at least 50 eggs and each carton contains 12 eggs, divide 50 by 12 to find out the number of cartons needed and then round the number up:

= 50 /12

= 4.16

Round it up to the nearest 1:

= 5 cartons

This will ensure that there is at least 50 eggs because 5 * 12 = 60 eggs.
