Answer:
7 hours 15 minutes
7.25 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Break from 11:45 am to 12:30 pm = 45 minutes
Two 15-minute unpaid coffee breaks during the day = 30 minutes
Total break hours = 45 minutes + 30 minutes
= 1 hour 15 minutes
Total work day hours from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm = 8 hours 30 minutes
How many hours are you paid?
Total hours paid = Total work day hours - Total unpaid break hours
= 8 hours 30 minutes - 1 hour 15 minutes
= 7 hours 15 minutes
b) Express your answer as a decimal in hours only
7 hours 15 minutes as a decimal
15 minutes to hour = 60 minutes/15 minutes
= 1/4
= 0.25 hours
7 hours 15 minutes as a decimal = 7 hours + 0.25 hours
= 7.25 hours
