Question

A farmer sells eggs in containers holding a dozen eggs. If he has 2178 eggs, how many containers will be filled completely? How many eggs will be left over?

Answer 1

~181 containers filled completely, 6 eggs left over

Explanation:

2178 ÷ 12 (a dozen, the number of eggs per container) = 181.5 containers

181 × 12 = 2,172 eggs

2,178 eggs - 2,172 = 6 eggs left over
