Q. Pete's dad ordered 32 donuts for Pete's birthday party at school. Pete's classmates ate 24 donuts. Pete will eat the remaining donuts at home, but is only allowed to have 2 per day.Complete the expression below to show how many days it will take Pete to eat the leftover donuts.
Calculate Leftover Donuts: First, we need to find out how many donuts are left after Pete's classmates ate some at the party.Pete's dad ordered 32 donuts, and the classmates ate 24 donuts.So, the number of leftover donuts is 32−24.
Perform Subtraction: Now, let's perform the subtraction to find the number of leftover donuts. 32−24=8 donuts are left.
Determine Days to Eat: Next, we need to determine how many days it will take for Pete to eat all the leftover donuts if he can only eat 2 per day.We have 8 donuts and Pete eats 2 donuts per day.So, the number of days it will take is 8÷2.
Perform Division: Finally, let's perform the division to find the number of days. 8÷2=4 days.
