Final answer:

Emmanuel sold 16 dozen eggs, and since one dozen equals 12 items, the total number of eggs sold is 192 eggs.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student asked how many eggs Emmanuel sold last month if he sold 16 dozen. To answer this question, we need to understand that one dozen represents 12 items. Therefore, if Emmanuel sold 16 dozens of eggs, we use multiplication to find the total.

  • First, identify the number of items in a dozen: 12 eggs.
  • Next, multiply the number of dozens sold by the number of items in one dozen: 16 dozens x 12 eggs/dozen = 192 eggs.

So, Emmanuel sold a total of 192 eggs last month.

Answering the additional example questions for clarification:

  • For g., the number is two and the unit is dozen eggs, because 'two' specifies the quantity of dozens, not individual eggs.
  • For h., the unit is dozen eggs because that combines the measurement unit 'dozen' with what's being measured, in this case, eggs.
  • For i., the blank should be filled with the conversion: 1 km = 1000 meters

To identify the number and unit in each quantity provided:

  • a. The number is one, and the unit is a dozen eggs.
  • b. The number is 2.54, and the unit is centimeters.
  • c. 'A box' is the number, and 'pencils' is the unit.
  • d. The number is 88, and the unit is meters per second.
