Question

A techinician works the third shift at a hospital for seven days in a row, filled by seven days off. She is scheduled to work Sunday through Saturday from 10pm to 8am, every other week. If the pay period starts on Sunday, how many hours will she work in two consecutive weeks?

Answer 1

The technician will work 140 hours in two consecutive weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

The technician works the third shift at the hospital for seven days in a row, followed by seven days off. She works from 10 pm to 8 am. Since she works every other week, we need to calculate the total number of hours she works in two consecutive weeks.

Each day, she works for 10 hours (10 pm to 8 am). So in a week, she works for 10 hours x 7 days = 70 hours. In two consecutive weeks, she will work for 70 hours x 2 = 140 hours.
