Question

A cooking teacher needs to give each student in his class three eggs to use in a recipe. There are 44 students in the class. How many dozen eggs should the teacher buy?

Answer 1

Answer: There are 11 dozen eggs that the teacher should buy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of students in the class = 44

Number of eggs given to each student = 3

So, Total number of eggs for 44 students would be

$44\times 3\\\\=132$

As we know that

1 dozen = 12 eggs

1 egg = $\dfrac{1}{12}$

132 eggs = $\dfrac{132}{12}=11$

Hence, there are 11 dozen eggs that the teacher should buy.

Answer 2

3 times 44 is 132, 132 divided by 12 is 11
The teacher should buy 11 dozen eggs.
