Question

a. 12
b. 48
c. none of these choices is correct
d. 9
e. 16?

Answer 1

We have been given that

2 cups flour + 3 eggs + 1 tbs oil → 4 waffles

In order to make 4 waffles we need 3 eggs.

Thus, to make 1 waffle we need 3/4 eggs.

Now, in 1 dozen there are 12 waffles. Hence, to make 12 waffles we need

$\frac{3}{4} \times 12\\ \\ =3 \times 3\\ =9$

Therefore, 9 eggs are needed to make 1 dozen waffles.

D is the correct option.
