Question

Danielle worked three days last week for a total of 18.25 hours. She worked 6.5 hours on Monday and 5.75 hours on Wednesday. How many hours did she work on Saturday?

Answer 1

She worked for 6 hours on Saturday.

Explanation:

Number of hours worked by Danielle last week = 18.25 hours

She worked for three days, Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.

Let she worked on Saturday = x hours

Therefore, total hours worked by Danielle in three days = 6.5 + 5.75 + x

And the equation will be,

6.5 + 5.75 + x = 18.25

12.25 + x = 18.25

x = 18.25 - 12.25

x = 6

Therefore, she worked for 6 hours on Saturday.
