A HOUSEHOLDER BURNS17 3/4 KG OF COAL EVERY WEEK DURING THE WINTER MONTHS. HOW MUCH COAL WILL HE BURN DURING THE MONTH OF DECEMBER?

To calculate how much coal the householder burns in December, we need to determine how many weeks are in December and multiply that by the amount of coal burned each week.

- The householder burns **17 3/4 kg** of coal per week. 
  - This is equivalent to \( 17 + \frac{3}{4} = 17.75 \) kg per week.

- December has approximately 4 weeks.

So, the total amount of coal burned in December is:

\[
17.75 \times 4 = 71 \text{ kg}
\]

Thus, the householder will burn **71 kg** of coal during December.
