The answer is 8 sausages.
hi'
Hello! How can I assist you today?
To find out how many sausages Edgar needs, we can use the ratio of eggs to sausages. The ratio is given as 3:2, which means for every 3 eggs, Edgar needs 2 sausages.
We are given that Edgar is using 12 eggs. To find out how many sausages he needs, we can set up a proportion:
3/2 = 12/x
Cross-multiplying, we get:
3x = 2 * 12
3x = 24
x = 24/3
x = 8
So, Edgar needs 8 sausages.
