Milo is making a giant loaf of bread, and the recipe calls for pounds of eggs instead of telling him the number. He needs 6 pounds in total. He looks up online that an egg weighs 1/16 of a pound. If he needs 6 pounds of eggs, how many dozen should he buy? Give me reasons, before answering the question
If one egg weighs 1 / 16 of a pound then 1 pound will be made up of 1 / (1 / 16) = 16 eggs. One pound of eggs is 16 eggs so 6 pounds is 6 * 16 = 96 eggs. One dozen is 12 eggs so 96 eggs will make 96 / 12 = 8 dozens. So the final answer is 8.
