Asked by Rene

Mary brought home 1/2 dozen eggs. He accidently dropped the carton on the flor and 1/3 of the eggs broke. How many eggs does she have left?
Ms. Sue I still don't understand your answer, please. Thank you
Answered by Ms. Sue
Mary has six eggs, right?

1/3 * 6 = 1/3 * 6/1 = 6/3 = 2 eggs

She broke 2 eggs.

6 - 2 = 4 eggs she has left.

Sorry about the mix-up. I misread the question Saturday.

1/2 dozen eggs is 6. If 1/3 of 6 gets broken, it means 2 broke. 4 are not broken. If I understood the question correctly, this should be the correct answer.
