Question

Kathleen worked for 4 hours and 45 minutes. How should she write that on her time card?

Answer 1

4.75 hours.

Explanation:

We have been given that Kathleen worked for 4 hours and 45 minutes.

We will convert 45 minutes to hours by dividing 45 by 60 as one hour has 60 minutes.

`\frac{\text{45 minutes}}{\frac{60\text{ minutes}}{\text{hour}}}`

`\frac{\text{45 minutes}}{60}* \frac{\text{ hour}}{\text {minutes}}`

`(3)/(4)* \text{ hour}`

`0.75\text{ hour}`

Therefore, she should write 4.75 hours on her time card.
