There are a total of


60(12)=720

cookies in 60 dozen eggs. WE can find out how many eggs we need by the rule of three:


\begin{gathered} 3\rightarrow1000 \\ x\rightarrow720 \end{gathered}

Then we need:


\begin{gathered} x=(720\cdot3)/(1000) \\ =(2160)/(1000) \\ =(216)/(100) \\ =(108)/(50) \\ =(54)/(25) \\ =2.16 \end{gathered}

Therefore, we need 2.16 eggs for 60 dozen cookies.

To find out how many
