Question

A gross is equal to 144 items. A baker's dozen is equal to
13 items. What is a reasonable estimate for the number
of baker's dozens in a gross? Show how you found
your estimate.

Answer 1

Answer:

Approximately 11  baker's dozens equal 1 gross.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of items in a baker's dozen = 13

The gross =  144 items

So, the number of baker's dozen in a gross

=  $\frac{\textrm{Total number of items in a gross}}{\textrm{Total number of items on a baker's dozen}}$

= $\frac{144}{13}  = 11.07$

Hence, approximately 11  baker's dozens equal 1 gross.
