Answer 1

Hi Jeneya..Lets try this one.

 

             One day Mom had her daughter to buy two cartons of eggs. The daughter knew that

 

one carton of eggs is one dozen.  Since she needed two cartons it is equal to 2 dozen or 24 eggs.

 

When Mom and her decided to make a small cake they only needed to use four eggs. So, this leaves

 

a remainder of 20 eggs.

 

 

   Hope this helps!
