nita uses 1/3 of a carton of 12 eggs. How many eggs does she use?
Answer:
She used 4 eggs from the carton.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Carton of eggs has 12 eggs
Nita used \(\frac{1}{3}\) of a carton.
To find: No of eggs she used.
No. of eggs in a carton = 12
⇒ Total no. of eggs = 12
No of eggs she use = \(\frac{1}{3}\,of\,total\,no.\,of\,eggs\)
= \(\frac{1}{3}\times12\)
= \(\frac{1\times12}{3}\)
= \(\frac{12}{3}\)
= 4
Therefore, She used 4 eggs from the carton
