Solution

The number of weeks in a year is 52 weeks

In a typical year, where each flea treatment lasts 4 weeks, Jim's dog would receive

$\frac{52}{4} =13 times$

Conversely, during especially bad flea years, when treatments only last for 3 weeks, Jim's dog would need

So in a year, Jim's dog would need 17- 13 =4 extra treatments.

4 treatments at 3 weeks each total 4×3 =12 weeks of additional treatment
