A pile of newspapers in Ms. McGrath's art class was 32 inches high. Each
consecutive week, for the next 5 weeks, the height of the pile of newspapers
increased by 4 inches. What was the height, in inches, of the pile after 3 weeks?
To find the answer, we do 5 divided by 4, to see how much it increases per week. This is 1.25. Now, we multiply 1.25 with 3, for 3.75. 3.75 +32 is 35.75.
