<human>:  Lori needed 1 whole egg to make 2 deviled egg halves. She anticipates that each of her guests will eat 3 deviled egg halves. If she is inviting 16 guests to her party, how many dozens of eggs will she need?
<bot>: How many halves will each guest eat? ** She is inviting 16 guests that will eat 3 deviled egg halves each so she needs 16*3 =<<16*3=48>>48 halves
How many whole eggs are needed? ** 1 whole egg is needed to make 2 halves so 48 halves is 48/2 = <<48/2=24>>24 whole eggs
How many dozens of eggs will she need? ** 1 dozen is equal to 12 and she needs 24 eggs so she needs 24/12 = <<24/12=2>>2 dozen eggs
