A calculator that works with mixed numbers is a handy thing.
Answer:
The plumber worked 50 hours, and his assistant worked 25 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since a plumber and his assistant work together to replace the pipes in an old house, and the plumber charges $ 30 an hour for his own labor and $ 20 an hour for his assistant's labor, and the plumber works twice as long as his assistant on this job, and the labor charge on the final bill is $ 2000, to determine how long did the plumber and his assistant work on this job the following calculation must be performed:
40 x 30 + 20 x 20 = 1200 + 400 = 1600
50 x 30 + 25 x 20 = 1500 + 500 = 2000
Therefore, the plumber worked 50 hours, and his assistant worked 25 hours.
I don't know what the spaces are meant for but I think that means 934 and 6814 only. Another point is, speed should be expressed in units of distance over time. So that would be miles/min.
So, distance could be calculated by multiplying speed and time.
d = 934 mi/min * 6814 min
d = 6,364,276 miles
