Complete Question:
There are 12 eggs in a dozen. If a farmer's chickens produce an average of 423 dozen eggs in a month, how many eggs are reported per month?
Answer:
The eggs reported per month are:
= 5,076 eggs.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
A dozen eggs = 12 pieces of eggs
Average of dozen eggs produced in a month = 423
Therefore, the eggs that are reported per month should average 5,076 (12 * 423)
b) The arrangement or measurement of eggs in dozens makes it easier to calculate the number of eggs produced in the farm each period. The result is obtained by multiplying the average of dozen eggs produced by 12.
