Answer 2

Answer:

He can work a maximum of 2 8-hour days for the remainder of the week

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, from the question, we are made to know that the maximum work hours is 40 hours.

Now, we know that he has already worked 24 hours this week, the number of hours remains to work will be 40-24 = 16 hours

Now, given that his working hour is 8-hours per day, we want to know the number of days he has to work for the remainder of the week

Mathematically, that would be 16 hours divided by 8-hours days

That is 16/8 = 2
