#7 4/12 = 7 1/3 #dozen.

Or simply, 6 dozen with 3 pies left.

To change a number of items into dozens, you need to group them in twelves. This is the same as dividing by 12.

It would not be a problem if we had 180 for example.
#180/12 = 15 dozen#

But in this case 75 does not divide exactly by 12.

Do the same anyway..
#75/12 = 6# dozen with 3 pies left over.

This can be written as #7 4/12 = 7 1/3 #dozen.

Or simply by stating 6 dozen with 3 pies left.
