Question

To complete a science project in 6 weeks, a total of 140 hours were worked. The work was done 4 days each week for the same number of hours each day. How many hours were worked each day?

Answer 1

The student worked approximately 5.83 hours each day to complete the science project over a period of 6 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking how many hours were worked each day if a student completed a science project in 6 weeks, working 4 days each week, for a total of 140 hours. To solve this problem, we first need to calculate the total number of days worked during the 6 weeks:

• 6 weeks × 4 days/week = 24 days

Next, we divide the total hours worked by the number of days to find the hours worked per day:

• 140 hours ÷ 24 days = 5.833 hours/day

Therefore, the student worked approximately 5.83 hours each day to complete the project.
