Question

During a four-week period, you worked the following hours: Week 1- 363 /8 hr; Week 2- 411 /4 hr; Week 3- 401 /2 hr; Week 4- 383 /8 hr What is the average number of hours you worked in one week?

A. 393 /8 hr
B. 381 /4 hr
C. 391 /8 hr
D. 383 /4 hr

Answer 1

Total hours worked in 4 weeks = (363/8) + (411/4) + (401/2) + (383/8)
= (363 + 822 + 1604 + 383)/8
= 3172/8 hours
= 793/2
Then
Average hours worked in a 4 weeks = (793/2) hours
So
Average hours worked in 1 week = 793/(2 * 4) hours
= 793/8 hours
So the average number of hours worked in 1 week is 793/8 hours.
