Question

Angela needs to buy eggs for this week. She will make six 3-egg omelets for her family. She will also need 4 eggs for her cake and 2 eggs for each of four casserole dishes. How many dozen eggs must she buy?

Answer 1

Angela will need to buy 3 dozens.

Explanation:

Okay, let's start with the omelets. She needs to make 6 omelets, that contain 3 eggs. So, 6 x 3 = 18.

Next, we have 4 eggs for the cake.

And finally, we need 2 eggs that are needed in each 4 casseroles. 2 x 4 = 8.

So, let's add the totals:

18 + 4 + 8 = 30.

12 eggs come in 1 dozen, so, 30 divided by 12 = 2.5.

Since you can't buy half a dozen, we will round up to 3 dozens.
