Answer 1

495.56 should be p[aid for 40 hours.

Explanation:

concept used

In ratio

a:b = c:d

__________________________________________

Given

IS PAID 473.88 FOR 38 1/4 HOURS OF WORK

38 1/4 hour = 38.25 hours

if we get ratio for payment per hour

we have

473.88 / 38.25 or 473.88 : 38.25

___________________________________

now we have to find payment for 40 hours

let that payment be x

thus, ratio for payment per hour in this case will be

x/40 or x:40

since

x:40 and 473.88 : 38.25 is representative of same program enhancement unit both ratio will be equal

thus

x:40 = 473.88 : 38.25

x/40 = 473.88 / 38.25

=> x = 40*(473.88 / 38.25 ) = 495.56

Thus, 495.56 should be p[aid for 40 hours.
