Lisa makes breakfast for her family every morning, Monday through Friday. She makes 2 eggs for each of her 4 children and 3 eggs for her husband. Then, she makes 2 eggs for herself. How many eggs does Lisa cook for her family for breakfast in a year?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
Lisa makes 2 eggs / child x 4 children = 8 eggs for her children. She makes 3 eggs for her husband + 2 for herself + 8 for her children = 13 eggs. Lisa makes breakfast 5 days a week for 52 weeks a year, so 5 * 52 = 260 breakfasts. So Lisa makes 13 eggs / breakfast x 260 breakfasts = 3,380 eggs.
Thus, the answer is 3380.
