Question

eli has 12 eggs. he uses his grandpas recipe to bake 4 loaves of challah. find how many eggs are left over if eli uses 2 eggs for each loaf of challah.

the number of eggs eli starts with – the number of eggs eli uses

• first, perform the operation inside the parentheses.

$12 - (4 \times 2) = 12 - \square$

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate 4×2

To find the number of eggs used, we multiply the number of loaves (4) by the number of eggs per loaf (2). So, \(4\times2 = 8\).

Step2: Substitute back into the expression

Now we substitute this result back into the original expression \(12-(4\times2)\), which becomes \(12 - 8\). But first, we needed to find the value inside the parentheses for the given blank, which is the result of \(4\times2\), so the blank should be filled with 8.

Answer:

8
