Question

An egg carton holds 12 eggs. A breakfast buffet uses 96 eggs by 8am. When the buffet ends at 10:30, a total of 156 eggs were used. How many cartons of eggs were used after 8 am?

Answer 1

Answer:

5 cartons of eggs were used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are a total of 156 eggs used, and 96 were already used, you subtract 156 - 96 = 60. Since there 12 eggs in each carton, you divide 60 by 12 to get 5.
