Question: Maddy was given 40 chocolate eggs for Easter. She likes to eat two each day after school. If Maddy has two chocolate eggs after school each day, how many weeks will they last? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
Maddy is eating 2 eggs each day after school and there are 5 school days in a week, so she eats 2 x 5 = 10 eggs each week. Since Maddy has 40 eggs / 10 eggs each week, they will last 4 weeks. So the answer is 4.
