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 equation \(14\div7 = 2\) represents dividing the total number of eggs (14) by the number of days in a week (7).

Step2: Interpret the result

The result 2 means the number of eggs eaten per day. Since \(14\) eggs are eaten in \(7\) days (\(14\div7\)), \(2\) is the daily egg - consumption. Options A and B are about meal types and cooking ways (not related to the division context). Option C has incorrect arithmetic as \(7\times2=14\) would imply 14 eggs in 2 days (not per day).

Answer:

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