Question

Steve works two different jobs for a total of 60 hours every Monday through Friday schedule is the same each day and he works three hours a day at his first job how many hours a day does he work at his second job

Answer 1

Explanation:

Steve works:

- 60 hour per week = 12 hours per day (60/5)

- first job: 3 hours per day = 15 hours per week

- x = second job hours per day

equitation:

1st option to calculate:

12 (total hours per day) = 3 (hours per day on first job) + X

9 = X

2nd option to calculate:

60(total hours per week) = 15 (3 hours per day x 5) + x

45 = x

you need to divide 45 / 5 to get the daily hours which is 9
