Answer:
452 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
......
First ("first" terms of each binomial are multiplied together)
Outer ("outside" terms are multiplied—that is, the first term of the first binomial and the second term of the second)
Inner ("inside" terms are multiplied—second term of the first binomial and first term of the second)
Last ("last" terms of each binomial are multiplied)
So he makes 10.40 per hr for regular work, and time and a half for anything over 40 hrs.......and he worked 51.5 hrs
10.40 (40) = 416 for his regular hrs
51.5 - 40 = 11.5 hrs overtime......1.5(10.40) * 11.5 = 15.60(11.5) =
179.40 for his overtime hrs
for a total gross pay of : 416 + 179.40 = 595.40 <==
because he worked 40 hrs at 10.40 per hr...giving him $ 416...and he worked 11.5 hrs overtime at a rate of 15.60 per hr...giving him 179.40...for a total of $ 595.40 total gross pay
You either multiply 2 x 2 or you add two on all sides and add them but I think you're supposed to multiply them
