Question

Eli works 9/20 day, 4 days a week. Find the number of hours each person works each week as a decimal. Which person works for the greater amount of time each week?

a) Eli: 0.45 hours, Other person: 0.25 hours
b) Eli: 0.4 hours, Other person: 0.5 hours
c) Eli: 0.225 hours, Other person: 0.3 hours
d) Eli: 0.36 hours, Other person: 0.45 hours

Answer 1

Eli works 10.8 hours per week, while the other person works 96 hours per week. The other person works for the greater amount of time each week.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of hours each person works each week, we need to multiply the fraction of a day worked by the total number of hours in a day. For Eli, we have:
Eli works 9/20 day, which is equivalent to (9/20) * 24 hours = 10.8 hours.

For the other person, we have:

The other person works 4 days a week, so they work 4 * 24 hours = 96 hours.

Therefore, Eli works for a shorter amount of time each week than the other person.
