Answer:

$263.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Every hour that I work in the restaurant, I make $7.75. If I work for 17 hours in ONE WEEK, I make $7.75 for each of those hours, therefore I make $7.75 seventeen times in ONE WEEK.

If I added $7.75  17 times, I would find my pay for one week.

This is the same as doing $7.75x17hour=$131.75 in ONE WEEK.

Being paid biweekly means you are paid every two weeks. If each paycheck contains the amount of money I made in two weeks, I would make $131.75 twice. To find this number, I can either add $131.75+$131.75 for each week on the paycheck, or I can multiply the amound earned by 2, for the 2 weeks worked.

The answer to this is $263.5 because $131.75x2=$263.5.

*Multiplication is used to replace how many times that number needs to be added to itself.

5x2, 5 needs to be added 2 times (5+5=10 and 5x2=10)

6x4, 6 needs to be added 4 times (6+6+6+6=24 and 6x4=24)

8x3, 8 needs to be added 3 times (8+8+8=24 and 8x3=24)

*it is worth to notice that 5x2=2x5, 6x4=4x6, and 8x3=3x8.

Just like it DOESN'T matter what order numbers are added together, it doesn't matter what order numbers are multiplied in.

it DOES matter what order numbers are subtracted in and divided in.

Ex.

6-4 does NOT equal 6-4

3-2 does NOT equal 2-3

Answer:

$263.50

Step-by-step explanation:

$7.75 (money earned per hour) x 17 (hours worked per week) = $131.75 per week. Biweekly means every two weeks so you're going to multiply the amount you earn per week by 2. The answer is then 263.50.

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

-3.5


Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the distance between x and z along the y-axis.

This will be: 5 - -6 = 11 units

1/5 th of 11 = 1/5 × 11

                 = 11/5

                 = 2 1/5 = 2.5

Now add 2.5 to -6

2.5 + -6 = -3.5

The value of y = -3.5
