Answer :

Drake fed his horse 57 2/5 pounds or 57.4 pounds of hay this week. Drake has been feeding his horse after school this week. He fed his horse 12 pounds of hay for 3 days, 11 2/5 pounds of hay on another day, and 10.82 pounds on the last day.

To find the total amount of hay Drake fed his horse this week, we need to add up the weights.

First, let's add the three days where Drake fed his horse 12 pounds of hay:
12 pounds + 12 pounds + 12 pounds = 36 pounds

Next, let's add the weight from the day Drake fed his horse 11 2/5 pounds of hay:
36 pounds + 11 2/5 pounds = 36 pounds + (11 + 2/5) pounds = 36 pounds + 11 pounds + 2/5 pounds = 47 2/5 pounds

Finally, let's add the weight from the last day when Drake fed his horse 10.82 pounds of hay:
47 2/5 pounds + 10.82 pounds = 47 pounds + 2/5 pounds + 10.82 pounds = 57 2/5 pounds

Therefore, Drake fed his horse a total of 57 2/5 pounds of hay this week. In decimal form, this is approximately 57.4 pounds.
