David is making cupcakes for the big sale he puts them on tray that holds six cupcakes each how many trees will be even need if he takes 12 dozen cupcakes which equation can you use to solve the problem when dozen
is 12 cupcakes
i think the answer is 24.
12x12=144,
144÷6=24
NO
To solve this problem, we need to determine how many trays David will need to hold 12 dozen cupcakes, where a dozen is equal to 12 cupcakes per dozen.
Let's break down the given information:
- David has 12 dozen cupcakes.
- Each tray holds 6 cupcakes.
To find the number of trays needed, we can divide the total number of cupcakes by the number of cupcakes per tray.
First, let's convert 12 dozen cupcakes into a total number of cupcakes:
12 dozen cupcakes = 12 x 12 cupcakes = 144 cupcakes
Now, we can set up the equation:
Total number of cupcakes / Number of cupcakes per tray = Number of trays needed
144 cupcakes / 6 cupcakes per tray = Number of trays needed
The equation to solve this problem is:
144 / 6 = Number of trays needed
Now, we can solve the equation:
144 / 6 = 24
Therefore, David will need 24 trays to hold 12 dozen cupcakes.
