ABSTRACT
Jones family is 2:3, while in the King family, it is 2:2. Therefore, the King family has a greater proportion of girls.
2. Merely by counting the brown eggs in each container, we can tell that the 18-egg container has more brown eggs. However, we might consider the fact that the containers
hold different numbers of eggs. 7 out of the 18 eggs or 7 18
are brown. Six out of the 12
eggs or 6 12
or 1 2
of the dozen are brown. Seven is less than half of 18, so a greater por-
tion of the dozen eggs is brown.
