Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is D, 43  $\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

If the pile gets bigger by 8 $\frac{7}{12}$ each week, and you want to find out how big the pile is after 3 weeks, then you have to multiply 8 $\frac{7}{12\\}$ by 3 to find out how much the pile increased by.

8 $\frac{7}{12\\}$ × 3 = 25 $\frac{3}{4}$

Now, you need to add this to your initial value to get the answer.

25 $\frac{3}{4}$ + 17 $\frac{3}{4}$ = 42 $\frac{6}{4}$

Now simplify.

43 $\frac{1}{2}$
