Answer:

Ada should buy 385 eggs from the store.

Explanation:

Given that you know that Ada can make 40 egg tarts using 110 eggs, you can use a rule of three to find the amount eggs to make 140 egg tarts:

40 egg tarts → 110 eggs

140 egg tarts → x

x=(140*110)/40=385 eggs

According to this, the answer is that Ada should buy 385 eggs from the store.
