Question

How many Total Hours (In Decimals) did you work in a week if you worked 8:15 onMonday, 7:30 on Tuesday, 8:45 on Wednesday, 7:00 on Thursday and 9:15 onFriday?*

Answer 1

We can convert any of these hours into decimals to solve this question. In this way, we have:

Monday: 8:15 ---> (15/60= 1/4 = 0.25) ---> Monday: 8.25.

Tuesday: 7:30 ---> (30/60 = 1/2 = 0.5) ---> Tuesday: 7.5

Wednesday: 8:45 ---> (45/60= 3/4 = 0.75) --->Wednesday: 8.75.

Thursday: 7:00 ---> Thursday: 7.00.

Friday: 9:15 ---> Friday (15/60 = 1/4 = 0.25) ---Friday: 9.25

Then, we need to sum all of these values:

8.25

7.50

8.75

7.00

9.25

____

40.75 hours

Then, you worked 40.75 hours in a week (in decimals).
