so we have to multiply 2 2/3 twice since he does that many hours for 2 days. We then have to multiply 1 3/4 three times since he does that many hours for 3 days. Lets first convert 2 2/3 into a mixed fraction. 2 2/3 = 3 times 2 =6 +2=8 over 3. 1 3/4=4 times 1=4+3=7 over 4. 8/3 times 2 equals 16/3 which eqials
5 1/3 hours. 7/4 times 3 equals to 21/4 which equals to 5 1/4. Lets now add
5 1/3 and 5 1/4. 5+5=10 but the fractions are not the same. Therefore, we need to make it to a common denominator. 4 times 3 equals to 12 so 4/12 plus 3/12 equals 7/12. Final answer equals to 10 7/12.
Yvette wants to earn a profit of $360, then. That means she has to make a total of $480. 480 divided by 18 is 26 and 2/3. That basically rounds up to $26.67.
480 = 18x
360 = 18x - 120
120(3) = 18x - 120
(I'm not that good at this, so don't take my word for it)
