Heather works as a waitress at her family's restaurant. She works 2 hours every morning during the breakfast shift and returns to work every evening for the dinner shift. In the last 4 days, she worked 28 hours. If Heather works the same number of hours every evening, how many hours did she work each dinner shift?

Answer:

I would say 5 hours

Explanation:

she worked 28 hours for 4 days of work. If she works two hours every morning for 4 days I would multiply those numbers together and get 8 so that leaves me with 20 hours. I would then divide 20 by 4 and that would leave me with 5 hours.

therefore she has been working 5 hours each afternoon.

hope this helps :)
