To find how long it will take for the plant to grow 7 4/5 inches, we can divide the total growth by the amount the plant grows in one week.
7 4/5 inches / 1 2/5 inches per week = (7 + 4/5) / (1 + 2/5) = (39/5) / (7/5) = (39/5) * (5/7) = 39/7.
Therefore, it will take the plant approximately 5 weeks and 4 days to grow 7 4/5 inches.
The answer is D: 5 weeks, 4 days.
