Answer:
The red segment is from 1/4 to 3/4.
3/4 - 1/4 = 2/4
2/4 = 1/2
1/2
This answer can also be found by seeing there are four equal boxes making up the one larger box, since two out of the four boxes are filled then the fraction would be 2/4, which simplifies to 1/2
You work 50 -40 = 10 extra hours per week but get paid for 1.5 times that, or 15 extra hours. In all, you're paid for 40 +15 = 55 hours per week.
.. (55 h/wk)*(4 wk/mo)*($16/h) = $3520/mo
Your gross pay for the month (4 weeks) will be $3,520.
Change in y over change in x
1. 15-x
2. 4y
These are algebraic expressions for both.
