Question

If you have to represent 3 dozens and 6 bananas in dozens in the form of decimals, how would you do it?

• A. 3.60 dozens
• B. 3.50 dozens
• C. 3.12 dozens
• D. 3.80 dozens

Answer 1

The correct option is B

3.50 dozens

We know that, 1 dozen = 12
$\frac{1}{12}$ dozen = 1
Thus, 6 = 6 $\times$ $\frac{1}{12}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$
$\frac{1}{2}$ dozen = 0.5 dozen
So, 3 dozen and 6 bananas = (3 + 0.5) dozens = 3.5 dozens
