Mr. Martin had 7 eggs. He used half (½) of these eggs plus one-half (½) another egg to make an omelet. He then used half (½) of what was left plus half (½) another egg to make a batch of cookies. Finally, he used half (½) of what was left plus one-half (½) an egg to make a meatloaf.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Number of eggs used to make meat loaf = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of eggs used to make omelet =

[tex]\frac{7}{2} + \frac{1}{2}\\\frac{8}{2} \\4[/tex]

The total number of eggs used for making cookies

[tex]\frac{3}{2} + \frac{1}{2} \\\frac{4}{2}\\2[/tex]

He is now left with 7 -4-2 = 1 egg only

So he uses this one egg to make meat loaf
