Answer:

14 dozen cookies can be made with 7 eggs

Explanation:

I first saw that 2 goes into 7 three times (2*3= 6 eggs).

then I multiplied 4 dozen also by 3 to get 144 cookies (12 dozen).

since there was still one egg left I divided the 4 by a half and got 2 dozen.

2 dozen + 12 dozen = 14 dozen (168 cookies)

I'm bad at explaining sorry, and if I got the answer wrong I'm sorry as well
