Carmen Martinez · Answer 1

4 dozens

Step-by-step explanation:

Find Eleanor and Joanna's ratio of eggs to milk

Eleanor:

Dozen eggs : gallons of milk

9 : 3

3 : 1

Joanna:

Dozen eggs : gallons of milk

2 : 2

1 : 1

They gather one gallon of milk each which means Joanna has 1 dozen eggs and Eleanor has 3 dozens of eggs.

Total dozen of eggs = 3 + 1 = 4

Therefore, total dozen of eggs the family have per week is 4 dozens.
