Hello there! We can answer through division here, given there are 12 donuts in a dozen:

46.2 divided by 12 gives us 3.85 dozens. However, there cannot be a fraction of a dozen in representation of a whole. Rounding to the nearest dozen, we will find that there are about 4 dozens in 46.2 donuts.

For there to be a value of 46.2 donuts, there had to have been more donuts to start with in the dozen. Therefore, we would round up. If there were 3 dozens, that would give us 36 donuts, which would not make sense because there are 46.2 present.

Hope this helps!
