Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Convert mixed - number to improper fraction

$3\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3\times2 + 1}{2}=\frac{7}{2}$

Step2: Calculate the number of widgets

The number of widgets produced in one week is 1250. Multiply the number of widgets per week by the number of weeks. So the number of widgets produced in $\frac{7}{2}$ weeks is $1250\times\frac{7}{2}$. $1250\times\frac{7}{2}=\frac{1250\times7}{2}=\frac{8750}{2}=4375$

Answer:

4375
