Question

John takes a 45 minute lunch break each day. He does not get

paid for this break. How many hours does he work in a 5-day
workweek if he checks in at 7:00 a.m. and checks out at 4:45
p.m. each day?

Answer 1

45 hours a week, 9 a day

Answer 2

Answer: John works a total of 45 hours per week.

Explanation:

John works a total of 9.75 hours a day, minus his 45 minute lunch. Since he doesn't get paid for his lunch, you will subtract 45 minutes off of each day. He will then work a total of 45 hours per week with 9 hours per day.

9.75 - .75 = 9

9 ×5= 45
