The saying is:
6 of one and half dozen of another.
as 6 and a half dozen are the same, then it doesn't matter which you use.
it means that, it doesn't matter, its all the same, no sense in arguing.
It is ussually said when people are arguing over symantics, using to different ways or phrases to say the same thing.
dont ask i am right.
1 dozen = 12 half a dozen = 6
half a dozen = ½ x 12 = 6 six dozen dozen = 6 x 12 x 12 = 864 So six dozen dozen is bigger
"Six of one, a half dozen of the other" means no matter how you say it, the answer is the same.
Sugar in 1 egg = 0.4 grams Sugar in 18 eggs = 7.2 grams 1 and half dozen = 18 eggs
Often with jewelry findings, 12 dozen (144 pieces) is written as "1 gross", and 6 dozen (72 pieces) is written as "0.5 gross" or "half-gross" or abbreviated as "1/2 GR". visit our website: livewiretambaram .com/software_development.html
Basically, when someone says "Six of one, half dozen of another" they are saying that the two things they are comparing are the the same thing. They use this because: 1 Dozen = 12 1/2 dozen = 6 6 = 6 So, 1 half dozen and 6 are the same thing.
1 dozen = 12 half a dozen = 6
18.Because dozen an a half = 1 dozen (12)+ .5 dozen(6) = 18
1/4. The ratio is 2: 1/2
half a dozen = ½ x 12 = 6 six dozen dozen = 6 x 12 x 12 = 864 So six dozen dozen is bigger
"Six of one, a half dozen of the other" means no matter how you say it, the answer is the same.
A dozen is 12, as in a dozen eggs. A half-dozen is 6 and 2 dozen is 24.
6/12 = 1/2 = half a dozen
Sugar in 1 egg = 0.4 grams Sugar in 18 eggs = 7.2 grams 1 and half dozen = 18 eggs
1 dozen = 12 so 2.5 dozen = 2.5*12 = 30. Simple!
Well, 1 dozen is 12 so: 2 x 12 = 24. Then a half dozen is 6 so: 24 + 6= 30. 2 and a half dozen eggs is equal to 30 eggs.
