Question

A baker is ordering eggs for the week. how Many cartons of 6 eggs would a Baker need to have 225 eggs all together. explain the reason for you answer.

Answer 1

Each carton has 6 eggs, use it as a conversion factor (1carton/6eggs), to find how many cartons the baker would need to have 225 eggs:

$225eggs\cdot\frac{1carton}{6eggs}=37.5cartons$

The baker would need 37.5 cartoons, but, as he can't order 37.5 cartons, he needs to order 38 cartons.
