The way I figured this one out was saying that if it takes 2lbs to stretch it to 12 inches and 5lbs to stretch to 18 inches that means that 3 additional pounds = 6 inches. Therefore, each additional pound is 2 inches. We know already that with 2 lbs it was 12 inches in length and we can also say that 2 lbs = 4 inches. So subtract 4 from 12 and you end up with the answer of 8 inches.

I have a question for you guys.
NeX [460]

If George's driveway is a rectangle 12.2 m by 3.0 m, its dimensions in cm are

... 1220 cm long × 300 cm wide × 2 cm deep

Thus the volume of gravel required is

... (1220 × 300 × 2) cm³ = 732,000 cm³

George needs about 0.732 bags, so he will probably need to buy 1 bag.
