Algebra Difficulty 1.1 Junior Find the answer Canada

Recycling is picked up every two weeks. Recycling was last picked
up on May 12. On what date is the recycling picked up next?

Pick one

Solution

There are $7$ days in each
week, and so there are $2\times7=14$
days in two weeks.

Thus, the date two weeks from May 12 is May 26 (since $12+14=26$ ).
