Answer:
Tim made $124 for working 15 and 1/2 hours.
Explanation:
If Tim makes $8 per hour and works for 15 and 1/2 hours, we can calculate his total earnings by multiplying his hourly rate by the number of hours worked:
Total earnings = Hourly rate * Number of hours worked
First, we need to convert the mixed number 15 1/2 to an improper fraction. To do this, we multiply the whole number by the denominator of the fraction and add the numerator, then put the result over the denominator:
15 1/2 = (15 * 2 + 1) / 2 = 31/2
Now we can calculate Tim's total earnings:
Total earnings = $8/hour * 31/2 hours
Total earnings = $4/hour * 31
Total earnings = $124
Therefore, Tim made $124 for working 15 and 1/2 hours.
