Step-by-step explanation:

As with many rate problems, ...

  quantity = rate · time

The total quantity will be the sum of quantities associated with different rates or time periods:

  total quantity = quantity1 + quantity2

  = (rate 1)(time 1) + (rate 2)(time 2)

  = (4 books/week)(3 weeks) + (2 books/week)(4 weeks)

  = 4·3 books + 2·4 books . . . . . . units of (weeks/weeks) cancel

  = (4·3 + 2·4) books . . . . . . formula matches selection A
