Answer 1

Answer:

The charge for shovelling snow for 6 hour is 72 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The charge for shovelling snow for 2 $\frac{1}{2}$ hours is $30

Let The charge  for shovelling snow for 6 hours = $ x

Now, Applying unitary method

∵ The charge for shovelling snow for 2 $\frac{1}{2}$ hours = $30

or,  The charge for shovelling snow for $\frac{5}{2}$ hour = $30

So, The charge for shovelling snow for 1 hour =  $\frac{30×2}{5}$ hour

∴ The charge for shovelling snow for 6 hour =  $\frac{30×2}{5}$ × 6 hours

I.e The charge for shovelling snow for 6 hour =  $\frac{360}{5}$ hours

                                                                            = 72 hours

Hence The charge for shovelling snow for 6 hour is 72 hours  Answer
