Mary has six eggs, right?
1/3 * 6 = 1/3 * 6/1 = 6/3 = 2 eggs
She broke 2 eggs.
6 - 2 = 4 eggs she has left.
Sorry about the mix-up. I misread the question Saturday.
1/2 dozen eggs is 6. If 1/3 of 6 gets broken, it means 2 broke. 4 are not broken. If I understood the question correctly, this should be the correct answer.
