As I read this post, I see two inconsistent statements/messages there
without any visible logical connection between them.
Look, think, check, re-check, double-check, cross-check, fix, and write
your request in a proper human language, clearly saying what is given
and what you want to get (to learn). Do not use excessive words (if you know what it means).
Then re-post.

You ask for a ratio?

The underlying concept here -- not at all clearly stated -- is that the total weight is directly proportional to the number of eggs.
E = # of eggs
W = weight
k = constant of proportionality
W = k*E
Using the given information that the weight of 6 eggs is 258g,
258 = k*6
k = 258/6 = 43
ANSWER: The constant of proportionality is 43 (grams per egg)
Note we could equally well say that the number of eggs is directly proportional to the total weight -- in which case the constant of proportionality would be (1/43) eggs per gram.

What do you want here exactly? Unit conversion? Where is shown this weight of the 66 eggs?
If 6 eggs are 258 grams, then you have this.
so this is 43 grams per egg.
If you have 66 eggs then their weight is grams
or better 2.84 kilograms.

why the chicken crossed the road is still a mystery.
But we do know, it was poultry in motion.
