Answer:
4 hours per shift
Explanation:
First, we can identify the important pieces of information given in the word problem amidst the story about Tremaine getting fired:
- he didn't work 1 hour each shift
- he "lasted" 6 shifts
- he actually worked a total of 18 hours over his 6 shifts
We can calculate the amount of time he was supposed to work over the 6 shifts by adding 1 hour per shift to the actual work time given:
time supposed to work = 18 + 6(1) = 24 hrs
Then, we can divide this by the total number of shifts he was supposed to work:
24 hrs / 6 shifts = 4 hrs per shift
So, Tremaine was scheduled to work 4 hours per shift.
