A dozen eggs = 12 eggs.

Albert had 1/3 eggs, which 12 / 3 = 4, so he had 4 eggs.

Maria had 1/4 eggs, which 12 / 4 = 3, so she had 3 eggs.

Tom had 2/6 eggs, which converts to 1/3 and once again results into 4, so he had 4 eggs.

Let's add these up and subtract our sum from our total.

4 + 3 = 7

7 + 4 = 11

12 - 11 = 1

We have 1/12 eggs left.

I hope this helps!
