Answer 1

1 dz to make 12 muffins

1 7/24 dz to make 15.5 muffins

Explanation:

How many dozen (dz) eggs are needed to make 12 muffins?

See answer options, we are looking for an option with dz indicated along with the number:

• 12 muffins
• 6 eggs
• 1 batch
• 18 muffin
• 200 blueberries s
• 3 batch
• x
• 1 dz
• X
• 70 blueberries
• 12 eggs
• 1

The correct option is:

• 1 dz which is the only one with required unit

So 1 dozen of eggs required for 12 muffins, that is 12 eggs for 12 muffins or 1 egg for 1 muffin or 1/12 dz per muffin

To get 15.5 muffins:

• Eggs required 15.5

Or in dozens:

• 15.5*1/12 = 31/24 = 1 7/24 dz
