Suppose a piece of silver jewelry contains 7.78×1022 atomsatoms of silver (AgAg).

**Understanding Counting Units in Chemistry**

**Common Counting Units:**
- 1 dozen = 12
- 1 score = 20
- 1 ream = 500
- 1 gross = 144

The mole (mol) is a counting unit used by chemists, similar to how a dozen is used by bakers:

\[ 1 \, \text{mol} = 6.022 \times 10^{23} \]

---

**Problem Context:**

Suppose a piece of silver jewelry contains \( 7.78 \times 10^{22} \) atoms of silver (Ag).

**Part A:**
- **Objective:** Calculate how many dozens of silver atoms are in this piece of jewelry.
- **Instructions:** Express your answer numerically in dozens.

**Hints for Solving:**
1. **Hint 1:** Learn how to convert between items and dozens.
2. **Hint 2:** Understand the relationship between the given value and the answer.

**Input Method:** An interactive keyboard for special characters is provided for entering answers.
