Marco Gill · Answer 1

A dozen eggs is 12 eggs, 1/4 of 12 is 3 and 2/3 of 12 is 8. 8+3 is 11, 11 eggs are gone or 11/12

Austin Sherman · Answer 2

A dozen of eggs is 12 eggs.

1/4 of 12 is 3, so 3 eggs have been taken.

2/3 of 12 is 8, so 8 eggs have been taken.

3+8 = 11

Therefore, 1 egg was left.

1/4 + 2/3 = 11/12
