Question

This week an employee is scheduled to work 6 hours each day Monday through Friday, and 3 1/2 hours on Saturday morning. If the employee's goal is to work 40 hours, how many additional hours must he work?

Answer 1

6 times 5 which is 30
30 plus 3.5 = 33.5
40 minus 33.5 = 6.5

He must work an additional 6 hours and 30 minutes.

Answer 2

So 5 days m-f
6x5=30 hours
Add the 3.5 from Saturday
33.5. To figure out how much on Sunday you subtract the total from the goal (40)
40-33.5=6.5 hours on sunday
