Answer 1

She got paid for 5.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,we want to get the total hours paid

From the question, she is paid for 15 minutes of travel

From client A to B, we have 15 minutes,while from B to C,there is also 15 minutes

That makes a total of 30 minutes of travel

30 minutes of travel is same as 1/2 of an hour which is 0.5 hour

We can now proceed to make all the additions

That would be 1 + 0.5 + 3.5 + 0.5 = 1.5 + 4 = 5.5 hours

She got paid for 5.5 hours
