Question

Jason and Donny painted a house and received $1.200. To complete the painting job Jason painted 4 hours 25 minutes and Donny spent 2 hours and 15 minutes. If they split the $1.200 in proportion to the amount of time each spent painting, how much did Donny receive?​

Answer 1

$405

Explanation:

Total hours = 4 hrs 25 min + 2 hrs 15 min = 6 hrs 40 min = 400 min

4 hrs 25 min = 265 minutes

2 hrs 15 min = 135 min

Donny's share =
`(135)/(400) of 1200`

`=(135)/(400)*1200=135*3\\\\= 405`
