Which of the following is greater?
-six dozen dozen
Or
-half a dozen dozen
half of an alligator is less than six alligators
Not helpful
six dozen dozen = 6*12*12 = 864
half a dozen dozen = 12*12/2= 144/2 = 72
clearly six dozen dozen is bigger by 792
well then
1/2 (dozen dozen)
is less than
6 (dozen dozen)
unless a dozen is less than one :)
To determine which of the following is greater - six dozen dozen or half a dozen dozen - we need to understand what these expressions mean and convert them into a common unit.
1. Six dozen dozen represents 6 multiplied by 12 dozen. To compute this, we'll multiply 6 by 12 to get the total number of dozens: 6 x 12 = 72.
2. Half a dozen dozen is equivalent to 0.5 multiplied by 12 dozen. To calculate this, we multiply 0.5 by 12: 0.5 x 12 = 6.
Comparing the computed values, we can conclude that six dozen dozen (72) is greater than half a dozen dozen (6).
