Respuesta :

3 times 44 is 132, 132 divided by 12 is 11
The teacher should buy 11 dozen eggs.

Answer: There are 11 dozen eggs that the teacher should buy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of students in the class = 44

Number of eggs given to each student = 3

So, Total number of eggs for 44 students would be

[tex]44\times 3\\\\=132[/tex]

As we know that

1 dozen = 12 eggs

1 egg = [tex]\dfrac{1}{12}[/tex]

132 eggs = [tex]\dfrac{132}{12}=11[/tex]

Hence, there are 11 dozen eggs that the teacher should buy.
