Expert Solution
Step 1

Given: Smaller cartons can hold 12 eggs.

Larger cartons can hold 18 eggs.

To pack 5,616 eggs in smaller cartons we need 561612=468 smaller cartons.

To pack 5,616 eggs in larger cartons we need 561618=312 larger cartons.

Total cartons used to pack 5,616+5,616=11,232 eggs is 468+312=780.
