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.

18.Because dozen an a half = 1 dozen (12)+ .5 dozen(6) = 18
1/4. The ratio is 2: 1/2
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
1 dozen = 12 so 2.5 dozen = 2.5*12 = 30. Simple!
