There are 12 eggs per dozen. Write an equation to describe this proportional relationship using the variable e to represent the number of eggs and d to represent the number of dozens of eggs.

Answer 1

You can express the relationship between the number of eggs (e) and the number of dozens (d) with the equation:

\[ e = 12d \]

In this equation, \( e \) represents the total number of eggs, and \( d \) represents the number of dozens of eggs. This shows that for every dozen, there are 12 eggs.
