You bought one dozen eggs but one-third of the eggs were broken. How many eggs were broken?
(Hint: A dozen eggs is 12 eggs.)
4 eggs were broken.
12/3 = 4
To find out how many eggs were broken, we can use the fact that one-third of the eggs were broken.
So, if we bought one dozen eggs (which is 12 eggs), we can calculate one-third of that by dividing 12 by 3.
12 / 3 = 4
Therefore, one-third of the eggs, which is equal to four eggs, were broken. So, four eggs were broken.
To find out how many eggs were broken, we need to first calculate one-third of a dozen.
One-third of a dozen is (1/3) x 12 = 4.
Therefore, if one-third of the eggs were broken, 4 eggs were broken.
