Answer: A. \(\frac{7}{2}\times\frac{52}{3}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The number of pounds of cat food bought by Gary every 3 weeks. =\(3\frac{1}{2}\ pound=\frac{7}{2}\ pound\)

If Gary feeds his cat the same amount of food each day.

⇒ The number of pounds of cat food his cat eats each week =\(\frac{7}{2\times3}\ pound\)

Since 1 year = 52 weeks

Therefore, the number of pounds of cat food his cat eats each year =\(52\times\frac{7}{2\times3}=\frac{7}{2}\times\frac{52}{3}\)

The expression could be used to determine the number of pounds of cat food his cat eats each year is given by :-

\(\frac{7}{2}\times\frac{52}{3}\)
