Question

Large eggs weigh 1/1/2 pounds per dozen. Dawn bought eight large eggs. How much did the eggs weigh

Answer 1

Answer:  1 pound

Step-by-step explanation:

Because 12 eggs= 1.5 pounds. So, you divide 1.5/12 = 0.125. And the 0.125 times 8 = 1 pound

Answer 2

Answer:

1 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 1 dozen(12) eggs weigh 1 1/2 or 3/2 lbs, each egg weights 3/2 ÷ 12 = 3/24 lb
So 8 eggs would weight 8 x 3/24 = 1 lb
