Can someone please help me with this problem I’m having with Spanish?

Question

Subject: Gender and Singular and Plural of Adjectives

Directions: Write the proper form of the adjectives in parentheses, based on the context.

Example 1: Los sacerdotes son bien devotos. (devoto)

Example 2: Votaron seiscientas personas en este recinto electoral. (600, using the word)

1. Hay ________ estudiantes en este colegio. (400, using the word)
2. Tenemos una ________ docena de huevos. (simple)

For number 1, I got cuatrocientos. However, for number 2, I really need help. I would really appreciate it if someone could guide me in the right direction for this problem.

Answer 1

Buenas Tardes, Jesset C. This is Profesora Gloria Salinas in Lubbock, Texas.

I looked over your answers so far.

Your answer to number 1...is correct.

I think you are having a problem with number 2...because the answer seems to be there already as the sentence is written. Tenemos una docena de huevos. (is perfectly correct in the simple form) If the sentence is supposed to mean..We have one dozen eggs. Or We have a dozen eggs.

It could possibly been an error in the sentence and the answer was given already by accident.

Hope this helps you out some.

(You spelled cuatrocientos so well. Many students have a problem spelling number combinations in Spanish, especially with the word - cuatro.)
