For the staff breakfast on Friday Mr. Taylor purchased 5 cartons of eggs (a carton contains a dozen eggs). Je used 2 and 11/12 cartons for scrambled eggs and 1 and 1 and a 3rd cartons for breakfast burritos. How many eggs did he have left?

Answer: he has 9 eggs left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr. Taylor purchased 5 cartons of eggs and a carton contains a dozen eggs. A dozen of eggs is 12 eggs. It means that 5 cartons of eggs would contain

5 * 12 = 60 eggs

He used 2 and 11/12 cartons for scrambled eggs. Converting 2 11/12 into improper fraction, it becomes

35/12 cartons.

He used 1 and 1 and a 3rd cartons for breakfast burritos. Converting

1 1/3 into improper fraction, it becomes 4/3 cartons

Total number of cartons that he used would be

35/12 + 4/3 = (35 + 16) / 12 = 51/12

The number of cartons left would be

5 - 51/12 = (60 - 51) / 12 = 9/12

Since a carton has 12 eggs,

9/12 carton will have 9/12 * 12 = 9 eggs
