Challenge
Seven circles are joined in a zigzag chain, each circle connected by a line to the next. Two of them are filled in: the leftmost circle holds 3/4 and the circle above and to its right holds 9/4.
In the figure above, the sum of the values inside any two circles joined by a line equals 3 — for example, 9/4 + 3/4 = 3. What is the sum of the numbers inside all seven circles?
A- \(9\frac{1}{4}\)
B- \(9\frac{3}{4}\)
C- \(11\frac{1}{4}\)
D- \(11\frac{3}{4}\)
E- \(12\)

The correct answer is B.
Write the values of all rectangular and add them.
\(\frac{3}{4} + \frac{9}{4} + \frac{3}{4} + \frac{9}{4} +\frac{ 3}{4 }+ \frac{9}{4 }+ \frac{3}{4 }= 9 \frac{3}{4}\)
