Answer 1

From 10:15 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. there are 1:45 hours. From 12:00 p.m. to 4:45 p.m. there are 4:45 hours therefore, each day Mr. Douglas works

`1\colon45+4\colon45=6\colon30`

hours.

Now, each week, Mr. Douglas works 4 days therefore, in one week, he works:

`4*6\colon30`

hours. Simplifying the above resut we get:

`26\text{ hours.}`

Finally, in four weeks Mr.Douglas works:

`26*4\text{ hours=104 hours.}`
