An employee earns $255 for 15 hours of work. Assuming he is paid by the hour, how much will he earn in 8 hours?

First you do $255/15= 17 dollars per hour. Then you have to multiply 17*8= 136. So he would get $136 in 8 hrs.

Hope this helps!

First divide 255 from 15 hours to get the amount he gets payed per hour

255/15 = 17 dollars per hour

Then multiply 17 to 8 hours to get the total for 8 hours

17 x 8 = 136

He makes $136 in 8 hours

hope this helps

Linda throws a dart that hits the square shown below: A square is drawn. A circle of radius 9 units touches the sides of the squ

Probability helps us to know the chances of an event occurring. The probability of Linda's dart hitting the circle is 0.7857.

<h3>What is Probability?</h3>

The probability helps us to know the chances of an event occurring.

$\rm{Probability=\dfrac{Desired\ Outcomes}{Total\ Number\ of\ outcomes\ possible}$

As it is given that the circle touches the sides of the square. therefore, the length of the side of the square is the diameter of the circle.

Now, in order to calculate the probability that the dart hits a point in the circle we need to calculate the area of the circle and the area of the square.

Area of the circle with a given radius of 9 units,

$\text{Area of the circle} = \pi r^2$

$\rm = \pi \times (9^2)\\\\= 81\pi\ units^2$

Area of the square with sides equal to the diameter of the circle,

$\rm \text{Area of square} = side^2$

$\rm = Diameter ^2\\\\= (2 \times radius)^2\\\\= (2 \times 9)^2\\\\= 18^2\\\\= 324\ units^2$

Now, the probability that the dart hits a point in the circle can be written as,

$\rm Probability=\dfrac{Desired\ Outcomes}{Total\ Number\ of\ outcomes\ possible}\\\\\\Probability=\dfrac{\text{Area of the circle}}{\text{Area of square}}\\\\\\Probability=\dfrac{81 \pi}{324} = 0.7857$

Hence, the probability of Linda's dart hitting the circle is 0.7857.
