Answer 3

A

Answer 4

I said A?

Answer 5

Didn't we just do this problem?
He starts with 12 eggs and takes an even number.
He can only take 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, or 12 eggs.
Which choice corresponds to those numbers?

Answer 6

This is practical domain not theoretical domain

Answer 7

Oh, I see.

Answer 8

Then let me go back.

For theoretical domain, I'd say all whole numbers.
Since e represents the number of eggs, e can be any whole number.
He can use 0 eggs, 2 eggs, 15 eggs, 55 eggs, etc.

For practical domain, I'd say only even numbers from 2 to 12 because that is what the chef uses. He has at most 12 eggs available, and he will use an even number.
