Answer 1

Answer: $119.00

Explanation:

To calculate the pay for the day, we need to determine the number of hours worked in the morning and the number of hours worked in the afternoon.

The morning shift starts at 8:00 AM and ends at 12:15 PM, which is a total of 12:15 - 8:00 = 4 hours and 15 minutes. The afternoon shift starts at 1:00 PM and ends at 5:15 PM, which is a total of 5:15 - 1:00 = 4 hours and 15 minutes.

Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, the total number of hours worked in the morning is 4 hours + 15 minutes / 60 minutes = 4.25 hours. The total number of hours worked in the afternoon is also 4.25 hours.

The total number of hours worked on the day is 4.25 + 4.25 = 8.5 hours.

To find the pay for the day, we need to multiply the number of hours worked by the wage rate:

Pay = 8.5 hours * $14/hour = $119

Rounding this number to the nearest hundredth gives us $119.00.
