Question

A farmer collected 12 dozen eggs from her chickens. She sold 5/6 of the eggs at the farmers' market, and gave the rest to friends and neighbors. How many dozens did the farmer give away

Answer 1

12 dozen eggs = 12x12
5/6 of 12dozen =
12d/6 = 2d
2dx5 = 10d
Sells 10d
12d-10d=2d
Gives away 2dozen
