Answer 1

Answer:

She would earn in a week (six days) 1482 cents.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mrs. Hall went to work for the shirt factory.

She earned nineteen cents per hour.

She worked thirteen hours per day.

Now, to find the money she earn in a week (six days).

Money she earned per hour = 19 cents.

As she she worked 13 hours per day.

So, money she earned per day = $19\times 13=247.$

Now, to get the total money she earned in a week (six days) we multiply 6 by money earned in per day:

$6\times 247$

$=1482\ cents.$

Therefore, she would earn in a week (six days) 1482 cents.
