What is the difference between a half dozen dozens and six dozen dozens?

Question

What is the difference between a half dozen dozens and six dozen dozens?

Answer 1

A half dozen dozens is six dozens, or 6x12 which is 72.

Six dozen of something is 6x12, or 72... so six dozen dozen is 72 dozen, or 864! (6x12x12).

In other words, the DIFFERENCE between a half dozen dozens and six dozen dozens is 792 of whatever you're counting; 864-72, or 66 dozen, if you're keeping track. :o)

Answer 6

Are we talking about a regular dozen or a baker's dozen.

Just kidding

I have no idea, sounds to me like they are the same.

Answer 7

36

6 Dzn Dzns = 72 - 6 Dzns = 36.

Answer 8

1/2 dozen = 6

six dozen = 6x12 = 72

Answer 9

a half dozen dozens = (12/2) * 12 or 72

six dozen dozens = 6*12*12 or 864

So the difference is 792.
