How many dozens of eggs in a ton?

Answer 1

1 tonne = 1,000 kg = 1,000,000g

It depends upon the size of the eggs used (and where you are):

• In UK:

Eggs comes in 4 sizes (now): small (<53g), medium (53g-63g), large (63g-73g), very large (>73g). A reasonable guestimate for average size would be:

• small 48g → a dozen weighs 12 x 48g = 576g → 1 tonne = 1,000,000 ÷ 576 = 17361/9 ≈ 1736.1 dozen
• medium 58g → a dozen weighs 12 x 58g = 696g → 1 tonne = 1,000,000 ÷ 696 = 143668/87 ≈ 1436.8 dozen
• large 68g → a dozen weighs 12 x 68g = 816g → 1 tonne = 1,000,000 ÷ 816 = 122525/51 ≈ 1225.5 dozen
• very large 78g → a dozen weighs 12 x 78g = 936g → 1 tonne = 1,000,000 ÷ 936 = 106844/117 ≈ 1086.4 dozen

Meaning there will be between approx 1086 and 1736 dozens of eggs per tonne.

• In USA

Eggs comes in 6 sizes of average weight:

• peewee 35g → a dozen weigh 12 x 35g = 420g → 1 tonne = 1000000 ÷ 420 = 238020/21 ≈ 2381 dozen
• small 43g → a dozen weigh 12 x 43g = 516g → 1 tonne = 1000000 ÷ 516 = 1937127/129 ≈ 1938 dozen
• medium 50g → a dozen weigh 12 x 50g = 600g → 1 tonne = 1000000 ÷ 600 = 16662/3 ≈ 1666.7 dozen
• large 57g → a dozen weigh 12 x 57g = 684g → 1 tonne = 1000000 ÷ 684 = 1461169/171 ≈ 1462 dozen
• extra large 64g → a dozen weigh 12 x 64g = 768g → 1 tonne = 1000000 ÷ 768 = 13021/12 ≈ 1302.1 dozen
• jumbo 71g → a dozen weigh 12 x 71g = 852g → 1 tonne = 1000000 ÷ 852 = 1173151/213 ≈ 1173.7 dozen

Meaning there are between approx 1174 and 2381 dozen eggs in a tonne.
