Answer 1

Eve should knit between 3 and 6 scarves per day in the next 2 days to meet her goal, with a minimum total of 15 and a maximum of 21 scarves for the week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Eve has already knitted 9 scarves and wants to knit at least 15 scarves and at most 21 scarves by the end of the week. With 2 days left in her work week, we need to calculate how many more scarves she should knit each day to achieve her goal.

First, let's calculate the minimum number of scarves she needs to knit to meet her goal of 15 scarves. She needs to knit 15 - 9 = 6 more scarves. Dividing 6 scarves by 2 days, we find she needs to knit a minimum of 3 scarves per day.

Now, let's calculate the maximum number of scarves to meet her goal of 21 scarves. She needs to knit 21 - 9 = 12 more scarves. Dividing 12 scarves by 2 days, we find she needs to knit a maximum of 6 scarves per day.

Therefore, to meet her goal for the week, Eve should knit between 3 and 6 scarves per day for the remaining two days.
