Federal guidelines recommend eating at least 2 cups of vegetables per day. From breakfast on Sunday to the end of the day on Thursday, Sarah has eaten 8 cups. How many cups per day does Sarah need to eat of her vegetables in order to meet her daily minimum requirement for the week?
How many cups of vegetables are recommended per week? ** There are 7 days in a week and 2 cups are recommended per day, bringing the total to 7 days * 2 cups/day =<<7*2=14>>14 cups for the week.
How many cups of vegetables does Sarah need to eat for the week? ** Out of the 14 total cups needed for the week, Sarah has already eaten 8, for a total of 14 cups - 8 cups = <<14-8=6>>6 cups left to consume for the week.
How many days are left in the week? ** Sunday through Thursday equals 5 days that have passed. If there are 7 days in the week then Sarah has 7 days - 5 days = <<7-5=2>>2 days left of the week.
How many cups per day does Sarah need to eat in the next two days? ** If she needs to eat 6 more cups in the next 2 days then she will have to eat 6 cups / 2 days = <<6/2=3>>3 cups per day over the next two days.
