Question

There are 17 eggs in total. If each tray can hold 7 eggs, how many extra eggs are needed to fill another tray?

• A. 4
• B. 10
• C. 2
• D. 7

Answer 1

The correct option is A 4

There are a total of 17 eggs, each tray can hold 7 eggs.

So,
tray 1 --> 17 − 7 = 10
tray 2 --> 10 − 7 = 3

After filling up two trays completely, 3 eggs are still remaining.

Therefore,
The number of more eggs needed to fill another tray is 7 − 3 = 4
