Question

Oliver worked 63/4 hours on tuesday and 51/2 hours on thursday at his parttime job. He makes 12dollars an hour at his job. How much did oliver earn working tuesday and thursday

Answer 1

$495

Explanation:

Number of hours worked by Oliver on Tuesday =
`\[(63)/(4)\]`

Number of hours worked by Oliver on Thursday =
`\[(51)/(2)\]`

Total number of hours worked by Oliver on Tuesday and Thursday =
`\[(63)/(4)+(51)/(2)\]`

=
`\[(63)/(4)+(102)/(4)\]`

=
`\[(165)/(4)\]`

=
`\[41(1)/(4)\]`

He makes $12 per hour on the job.

So his total earning =
`\[(165)/(4) * 12\]`

= $495
