Question

There are 12 eggs in a dozen. if a farmer's chickens produce an average of 464 dozen eggs in a month, how many eggs are reported per month?

Answer 1

Answer:

5,568 eggs are reported per month.

Step-by-step explanation:

A farmer's chicken produce an average of 464 dozen eggs in a month.

There are 12 eggs in a dozen.

So we have to convert 464 dozen eggs in to number of eggs.

To convert 464 dozen eggs into number of eggs we simply multiply 464 with 12.

Total number of eggs reported per month = 464 × 12 = 5,568 eggs.

5,568 eggs are reported per month.

Answer 2

If one dozen means "twelve", then 464 dozens means "464 times twelve", so we've basically already answered the question:

$464 \text{ dozens} = 464 \times 12 = 5568$
