Question

kia worked 30 hours and 15 minutes this weekend . if she makes $15.60 per hours ,how much did she make?

Answer 1

$471.90

30 x 15.60 = 468 (total full hours x amount per hour)
60 / 15 = 1/4 (60 minutes per hour divided by the 15 minutes they worked = amount of the hour)
15.60 x 1/4 = 3.9 (amount for the 15 minutes worked)
468 + 3.9 = 471.9 (total full hours + 15 minutes total)

Answer 2

Answer:

$471.90 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find out how many hours she's working.

There are 60 minutes in an hour so 15/60 is 0.25.

Thus, adding that to the 30 hours gives us 30.25.

If she makes $15.60 per hour we just multiply that by 30.25 hours and get the answer.

$\frac{15.60}{hour}*30.25 hours = 471.9$

The $\frac{}{hour}$ comes from the wording of per hour, and since the unit is in the denominator, when we multiply it by the 30.25 hours, the units cancel out. Thus all we are left with is the amount of dollars made, which is $471.90.
