Question

Clare is paid $90 for 5 hours of work. At this rate, how many seconds does it take for her to earn 25 cent?

Answer 1

50 secs

as $90÷5hrs= 18 $ per hrs

$18÷60min=$0.30 per min

$0.30÷60sec=$0.005 per sec

$0.25÷$0.005= 50sec to make $0.25

so 50sec is the answer

Answer 2

Answer:

50 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Clare is paid $90 for 5 hours of work.

To find: how many seconds does it take for her to earn 25 cent?

Solution: It is given that Clare is paid $90 for 5 hours of work.

We know that $1 is equal to 100 cents.

1 hour is equal to 3600 seconds

So, we get $$90=90\times100=9000$ cents

5 hours$=5\times3600=18000$ seconds

Therefore, time taken to earn 1 cent$=\frac{18000}{9000} =2$ seconds

So, time taken to earn

25 cents$=25\times2$

$=50$ seconds

Hence, it take 50 seconds to earn 25 cents.
