6 12= 72 72 (2/3)=48 The farmer has 48 brown eggs
6 cartons of one dozen eggs. 1 dozen eggs = 12 eggs; so 12 (eggs) x 6 (cartons) = 72; so 72*2/3= 48 I hope you understand :-)
The total number of brown eggs the farmer has for sale is 48. This is determined by first calculating the total number of eggs, which is 72, and then taking 2/3 of that amount. Hence, the farmer has 48 brown eggs.
