Answer 1

So that means she worked for 2.5 hours, or 2 hours and half an hour. In minutes, she would have worked 150 minutes (2 hours*60 minutes) +30 minutes

Answer 2

2 hours and 30 minutes.

Explanation:

We have been given that after finishing her shift, a waitress wrote 2.5 under "hours worked" on her time card. We are asked to find the time she worked.

We will convert our given time into hours and minutes as:

`2.5\text{ hours}=2\text{ hours}+0.5\text{ hour}`

`2.5\text{ hours}=2\text{ hours}+(1)/(2)\text{ hour}`

We know that 1 hour equals 60 minutes, so we will substitute 60 minutes our equation as:

`2.5\text{ hours}=2\text{ hours}+(1)/(2)\text{ hour}* \frac{\text{60 minutes}}{\text{hour}}`

`2.5\text{ hours}=2\text{ hours}+(1)/(2)* \text{60 minutes}`

`2.5\text{ hours}=2\text{ hours}+30\text{ minutes}`

Therefore, the waitress worked for 2 hours and 30 minutes.
