Question

Paola worked for 4 1/2 hours on Friday, 5 3/4 hours on Saturday, and 4 hours on Sunday. The following week Paola will work for the same number of hours on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. What is the total number of hours Paola will work over these 6 days?

Answer 1

28 1/2 hours

Explanation:

The first weekend she worked:

Fri: 4.5 hours

Sat: 5.75 hours

Sun: 4 hours

So the total of those = 4.5 + 5.75 + 4 = 14.25 hours.

Then she worked the same thing again the next weekend.

So:

14.25 x 2 = 28.5 which is 28 1/2 hours
