Question

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, students who have an after-school job spend an average of 42 fewer minutes per day on schoolwork than students who don't work. If the school year is 180 days, how many more hours per year would the average non-working student spend on schoolwork than the average student with an after-school job?

Answer 1

Answer:

126 hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

-Given the school year has 180 days and the non-working student spends 42 minutes more than the working student.

-The total time during the school year is calculated as;

$Total Time=Time/day \times No \ of \ Days\\\\=42\ minutes \times 180\\\\=7560\ minutes$

We convert our calculated time in hour(1hr=60 minutes):

$=\frac{7560\ mins}{60\ mins}\\\\=126\ hrs$

Hence, the average non-working spends an average of 126 hrs that the working student.
