Question

Simone has 5 employees in her flower shop. Each employee works

6 4/15 hours per day. How many hours, in total, do the 5 employees work per day?
A. 30 2/3
B. 28
C. 31 1/3
D. 30

Answer 1

Total number of employees = 5
Time spend by each employee = 6 4/15
= 6 (4/15*60)
= 6 hrs (4*4 minutes)
= 6 hrs 16 minutes
= 360+16 minutes
= 376 minutes

Time spend by 5 employees = 5* 376
= 1880 minutes

We should find answer in hours
Therefore , time spend = 1880/60
= 94/3
= 31 1/3 hrs

Therefore, time spend by 5 employees is 31 1/3 hrs
