Question

6. Maggie works at The Drug Store five days a week. Last week, she worked a

total of 35 hours. She worked the same number of hours every day, except
Saturday, when she worked 11 hours. How many hours did she work on the
other days?

Answer 1

Answer: 7

and maybe 5.83

Explanation:

If she worked 5 days a week, and worked the same hours of those days, then the answer is 7. You simply divide 35/5 which gives you that answer. And they’ve already given you the answer for Saturday, so yeah.

But you did say she only worked 5 days a week—in 35 hours. And you also said “how many hours did she work on the other days”. If Saturday’s hours was already stated, then are you implying she worked for 6 days instead of 5? Because there’s 7 days a week and if Saturday is unaccounted for, then she worked 6 days. In that case, your answer would be 5.83.
