To determine how many watercolor paintings Megan made in total over both weeks, we need to analyze the information provided.
Let’s say in the first week she made ( x ) watercolor paintings. According to the question, in the second week she made twice as many, so that would be ( 2x ).
Now, the total number of paintings over both weeks would be:
[ x + 2x = 3x ]
However, we need more context about how many she made in the first week to find ( x ). Since that information is not provided, we cannot solve for the total number of paintings specifically.
Based on the answer choices, if we assume the simplest case where she made 2 paintings in the first week (making ( x = 2 )), then:
[ 3x = 3(2) = 6 ]
Thus, Megan made a total of 6 watercolor paintings over both weeks.
So the answer is B. 6.
