A bakery had 3 dozen eggs. The baker made 3 batches of cookies. Each batch required 3/4 dozen eggs. What fraction of a dozen eggs
remained?

Respuesta :

Baker had 36 eggs
Baker made 3 batches of cookies
Each batch required 9 eggs
9 eggs x 3 batches =27
36-27=9
9eggs out of the dozen
=3/4 dozen eggs remaining
So one way you can do it is to multiply 12 by 3/4 which equals 9. Then you can multiply 9 by three since one dozen is 12. So once you multiply 9 by three you get your answer.
