Answer: It takes 14 eggs to make 42 dozen cookies

Step-by-step explanation: To solve using a proportion first start out with 2eggs/6cookies (They are in a dozen but 42 is also in a dozen so it cancels out). Now that you have 2/6 you now have to find the x in x/42. 42 divided by 6 is 7 so multiply 2 by 7 and you get: It takes 14 eggs to make 42 dozen cookies or 14/42. Hope this helps
