Answer:3 weeks to eat all the candy

Step-by-step explanation:

You eat 16 pieces of candy every week (3 on Sunday and Saturday, 2 on Monday-Friday). Every week equals 16 pieces eaten.

Yareli Gibson · Answer 2

So, if we eat 2 pieces of candy on the weekdays, but we get to have 3 on the weekend, we will be eating 16 pieces of candy every week. Now, because we have 48 pieces we will divide 48 by 16 (The amount we will be eating every week). Therefore, because 48 divided by 16 is 3, it will take us 3 weeks to finish our Halloween candy.
