Because the post office processes 45.6 letters every hour and is open 9 days an hour, it processes 45.6*9, or 410.4 letters per day.  Because it is open on Christmas for 3 hours more than normal days(12-9), it produces 45.6*3, or 136.8 more letters on Christmas.

Hope it helps <3

A. 410.4 letters

B. 136.8 more letters

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

We know that the post office processes 45.6 letters per hour. If we want to know how many letters they process in 9 hours, we can multiply 45.6 and 9.

45.6 * 9

Multiply

410.4

The post office can process 410.4 letters in 9 hours, therefore A is correct.

2.

The post office still process 45.6 letters per hour, but they are open for 12 hours. First, multiply 12 and 45.6.

12 * 45.6

547.2

We are asked to find how many more letters they can process. We need to find the difference between the letters they normally process and the letters they process on Christmas.

Christmas - normal

They process 547.2 on Christmas and 410.4 normally.

547.2 - 410.4

136.8

They process 136.8 more letters on Christmas. Therefore, choice B is correct. Thank

answer: 45
