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

The total number of eggs is 14 (per week), and there are 7 days in a week. The equation \(14\div7 = 2\) represents dividing the total number of eggs (14) by the number of days (7).

Step2: Interpret the result

When we divide the total number of eggs (14) by the number of days (7), the result (2) gives the number of eggs eaten per day. So, Brock eats 2 eggs each day of the week.

Answer:

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