Answer 1

$52.50

Explanation:

take the hours and find the common denominator which is twelve. (1 9/12+2 4/12+1 5/12) Add them all up and simplify which would go from 4 18/12 to 5 6/12 to 5 1/12. Then multiply 10.50 by 5 because 1/2 isn't a full hour. That would get you 52.50

Answer 2

$57.75

Explanation:

10 1/2*(1 3/4+2 1/3+1 5/12)=57 3/4

5/12=.42

1/3=.33

3/4=.75

10.50*(1.75+2.33+1.42)=57.75
