B) 4.25 hours
C) 4.30 hours
D) 4.50 hours

Answer 1

Option (B), To convert Cody's working time of 4 hours and 15 minutes to decimal hours, divide the minutes (15) by 60 to get 0.25 hours. Add this to the 4 hours to find that Cody worked 4.25 hours in decimal form.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks how to convert the time Cody worked, which is 4 hours and 15 minutes, into decimal hours.

To convert minutes to decimal hours, divide the number of minutes by 60 because there are 60 minutes in 1 hour. In Cody's case:

1. 15 minutes ÷ 60 = 0.25 hours

Adding this to the 4 hours Cody worked, we get:

1. 4 hours + 0.25 hours = 4.25 hours

Therefore, the correct answer is B) 4.25 hours.
