Question

If an 8 hour work day includes a total break time of 22 1/4%, how many hours are used for breaks?

Answer 1

1 39/50 hours. This is equivalent to 1.78 hours.

Explanation:

The sum of the hours of work and the hours for break gives the work day hour which has been given as 8 hours.

Furthermore, given that the break time is 22 1/4%, the number of hours for break

= 22 1/4% × 8 hours

= 89/400 × 8

= 1 39/50 hours
