Question

An Italian restaurant buys 15 pounds of onions every 2 weeks. how many bags of onions will the restaurant buy in 7 weeks?

Answer 1

2 goes into the 7 weeks 3 times with a remainder of a week until they buy another 15 pounds of onions. So 15 x 3 = 45 pounds. They’ll have 45 pounds of onions in 7 weeks as on the 8th week they’ll buy another 15 pounds but the question only wants to know by the 7th week.

Answer 2

Since it is 7 weeks and they order 15 pounds every two weeks they will order 3 times. 15 times 3 is 45. Your answer is 3 bags
