Question

A farmer has 5 cartons of eggs for sale. Each carton contains 12 eggs.

if 5/6 of the eggs are brown, what is the total number of eggs that are not brown

Answer 1

10 eggs

Explanation:

5 cartons multiplied by 12 eggs each equals 60 eggs in total.

Therefore 5/6 would be equal to 50/60 since we multiply the denominator and numerator by 10

As a result 10 of the eggs are not brown
