Answer 1

4872 eggs

Explanation:

There are 12 eggs in a package. This is a conversion factor: (12 eggs/package).

Happy Hippo has 406 packages. Use the conversion factor to convert that number of packages into eggs:

(406 packages)(12 eggs/package) = 4872 eggs Note how the package term cancels out, leaving just eggs.
