Answer 1

Answer:

13 dozens

Step-by-step explanation:

If he collected 5 eggs from the brown hens then the answer is 12 dozens but if he collected 6 eggs from the brown hens the answer is 13 dozens

Answer 2

Given data,

Manson collected $7$ dozens of eggs from his white hen

The number of eggs are

$7\times12$, as one dozen is equal to $12$

$84$

Number of eggs collected from brown hen is $\frac{5}{6}$ of a dozen

$\frac{5}{6} \times12$

$5\times2$

$10$

The total number of eggs collected by Manson are

$84+10$

$94$

Convert this into dozens,

As one dozen is equal to $12$

Divide the total eggs with $12$

$\frac{94}{12}$

$7.8$

Therefore, Manson collected $7.8$dozens of eggs
