Question

brock eats 14 eggs each week. he eats the same amount of eggs each day of the week. the following equation is written to represent the situation: 14 ÷ 7 = 2. which of the following best explains the meaning of (2) in the equation? a brock eats 2 different meals for breakfast. b brock eats his eggs cooked 2 different ways. c brock eats 7 eggs 2 days of the week. d brock eats 2 eggs each day of the week.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the division equation meaning

The total number of eggs per week is 14, and the number of days in a week is 7. The division \(14\div7 = 2\) represents distributing 14 eggs evenly over 7 days.

Step2: Relate to each option

• Option A: The equation is about eggs, not meals.
• Option B: The equation is about the number of eggs per day, not cooking ways.
• Option C: The equation \(14\div7 = 2\) is not about distributing eggs over 2 days.
• Option D: Since \(14\div7 = 2\), it means 2 eggs per day (as 14 eggs in 7 days, so \(14\div7\) gives eggs per day).

Answer:

D. Brock eats 2 eggs each day of the week.
