Question

Pls help me understand step by step so i may understand fully

Answer 1

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.
