Answer:

Option A. 47 hours

Explanation:

The given table is about the times recorded on the time sheet for the week.

We have to calculate the total time she worked for.

From 7:05 to 3:58

If 7:05 is a.m. then 3:58 will be 15:58 pm.

By subtraction of these timings we can get the number of hours she has worked.

15:58 - 07:05 = 8:53 (8 hours 53 minutes)

From 7:30 a.m. to 17:01 pm

17:01 - 07:30 = 9:31 (9 hours 31 minutes)

From 8:01 a.m. to 17:32 pm

17:32 - 08:01 = 09:31 ( 9 hours 31 minutes)

From 07:22 a.m. to 16:46 pm

16:46 - 07:22 = 09:24 (9 hours 24 minutes)

From 6:55 am to 16:31 pm

16:31 - 06:55 = 9:36 (9 hours 36 minutes)

Therefore, total time she worked = 8:53 + 9:31 + 9:31 + 9:24 + 9:36 = 44:175 (44 hours 175 minutes)

Now we will convert minutes to hours

175 minutes = 2 hours 55 minutes

So total working hours = 44 hours + 2 hours 55 minutes = 46 hours 55 minutes ≈ 47 hours

Therefore, Option A. 47 hours is the answer.
