Answer:

$180

Explanation:

1. He worked 6 hours a day, 4 days a week.Multiply 6 by 4 to find out how many hours he works in a week.

6 x 4=24

So Samuel worked for 24 hours a week.

2. Next, you multiply 24 by $7.50 to work out how much he earned that week

24 x $7.50= $180

Hope this helped :)

Answer:

2a) $180

2b) $1440

Explanation:

2a) Basically Samuel works for 6 hours a day and earns 7.50 per hour, so you have to do 7.50 x 6 to see how much he earns per day (which in this case is $45). You then have to multiply $45 to 4 since he earns $45 per day and works 4 days per week (which is $180).

2b) After finding out how much he earns per week ($180 from the previous question), you then have to multiply $180 by 8 as $180 is the amount he earns per week and since he works for 8 weeks you have to multiply $180 by 8 (the answer is then $1440).

sorry if I'm not making sense, i tried :) good luck!
