the amount of time that 9 hours

Answer 2

WELL IN ORDER TO FIND THE CORRECT ANWSER YOU NEED TO FIND THE UNIT RATE PER HOUR BY DIVIDEING 14 INTO 3 WHICH EQUALS 4.66666667. SO YOU WOULD SEE HOW MANY TIMES 4.66666667 GOES INTO 42. YOU WOULD FIND OUT BY DIVIDING 4.66666667 INTO 42. OK SO WE GOT 9. NOW LETS CHECK OUR WORK BY DOING 9 TIMES 4.66666667. SO THE NUMBER OF HOURS HE WORKED THIS WEEK IS 9 HOURS.
