A: 7 B: 9 C: 12 D:13 Please tell me the correct answer and how you got it step by step because I don't get lol!

Answer 1

All you need to do to answer this equation is to continually add 3/4 until you get 9 1/2 or as close as you can get without going over. In this case if you keep on adding 3/4 you will get only up to 9 because you cant go over your value of 9 1/2. Your answer is D.
