a. 9 dozens
b. 3,579 cents
c. 32 pairs
d. $190.45
e. 288 cookies

Answer 2

Answer:

a) 9 dozens; b) 3579 cents; c) 32 pairs; d) 190.45 dollars; e) 228 cookies; f) 504 pairs

Step-by-step explanation:

a) There are 12 of any item in a dozen.  To find the number of dozens in 108 eggs, divide by 12:

108/12 = 9

b) There are 100 cents in every dollar.  To convert the number of dollars to cents, multiply by 100:

35.79(100) = 3579

c) There are 2 shoes in a pair.  To convert individual shoes to pairs, divide by 2:

64/2 = 32

d) To convert cents to dollars, divide by 100:

19045/100 = 190.45

e) To convert dozens to individual cookies, multiply by 12:

19(12) = 228

f) A gross is a dozen dozen.  This means it is 12(12) = 144.  This makes 7 gross 7(144) = 1008.  To convert this to pairs, divide by 2:

1008/2 = 504
