James decides he needs to start eating more vegetables. He starts by eating a quarter pound of asparagus and a quarter pound of broccoli per day. After 2 weeks, he doubles that amount and adds 3 pounds of kale per week. How many pounds of vegetables does he eat a week after adding the kale? Let's answer step by step:
He starts with .25 + .25 = .5 pounds of vegetables a day. After doubling that it goes to .5 * 2 = 1 pound a day. So he eats 1 * 7 = 7 pounds of asparagus and broccoli per week. So he eats a total of 7 + 3 = 10 pounds of vegetables a week. The answer: 10.
