Question

How do you express 75 pies in dozens?

Answer 1

`7 4/12 = 7 1/3`dozen.

Or simply, 6 dozen with 3 pies left.

Explanation:

To change a number of items into dozens, you need to group them in twelves. This is the same as dividing by 12.

It would not be a problem if we had 180 for example.
`180/12 = 15 dozen`

But in this case 75 does not divide exactly by 12.

Do the same anyway..
`75/12 = 6` dozen with 3 pies left over.

This can be written as `7 4/12 = 7 1/3`dozen.

Or simply by stating 6 dozen with 3 pies left.
