Question

Ethan has $14$ chocolates. He eats equal number of chocolates every day. If the chocolate stock must last 1 week, how many chocolates should Ethan eat in a day?

chocolates

Answer 1

Total number of chololates $=14$
We know, $1\text{week}=7\text{days}$
Number of days the chocolate stock must last $=7$

$\text{Number of cholcolates to be consumed per day}=\frac{\text{Total number of chocolates}}{\text{Total number of days}}$

$=\frac{14}{7}\text{chololates}$
$=\frac{2\times 7}{7}\text{chololates}$
$=2\text{chololates}$

$\therefore$ If Ethan chooses to have $2\text{chololates}$ per day, then his stock would last one week.
