Answer 1

58 deviled eggs for a party. After an hour, there were 12 left.

58 - 12 = 46 eggs were eaten in the first hour

Answer 2

Answer: 46 eggs were eaten in the first hour.

Explanation:

Given : Erin made 58 deviled eggs for a party.

After an hour, there were 12 left.

Then, the number of eggs were eaten in the first hour =
`58-12` (Simplify)

i.e. The number of eggs were eaten in the first hour = 46

Therefore, the number of eggs were eaten in the first hour = 46
