Answer 2

Given that:

• Imran bought 3 dozen eggs at the supermarket.
• When he got home he was upset because 2 by 3 of them were is broken.

To Find:

• How many eggs were broken?

We know that:

• 1 Dozen = 12 units

Finding the total number eggs bought:

• 1 Dozen eggs = 12 eggs
• 3 Dozen eggs = 12 × 3 = 36 eggs

Finding number of eggs broken:

2/3 of them were broken.

= 2/3 × 36

= (2 × 36)/3

= 72/3

= 24

Hence,

• 24 eggs were broken.
