Question

Chris worked 3 ½ hours at his uncle’s farm. He was paid $8 for every ½ hour he worked. How much money did Chris make?

Answer 1

Chris worked for about 3 1/2 hours.

There are 2 Half hours in an hour.
So he worked a total of 7 half hours.

He gets paid 8 dollars for every half hour he works.

8*7= 56

So Chris was paid 56 dollars.

Answer 2

The amount that Chris will make will then be $56

The first thing to do is to divide 3 1/2 by 1/4. This will be:

= 3 1/2 / 1/4

= 7/2 × 2/1

= 7

Now we'll then multiply 7 by $8. This will be:

= $8 × 7

= $56

The amount made will be $56
