The given ratio is 3:2 for eggs to sausages, which means for every 3 eggs, Edgar needs 2 sausages.
If Edgar is going to use 12 eggs, we can set up a proportion to find the number of sausages he needs.
Let's represent the number of sausages he needs as "x".
Therefore, 3/2 = 12/x
Cross multiplying, we get:
3x = 2 * 12,
3x = 24.
Dividing both sides by 3, we find:
x = 24/3,
x = 8.
Therefore, Edgar needs 8 sausages.
