Well, things like sporting events, or freak storms are measured in days, or weeks. Depends. For weather, it could be hurricanes, tornado's, or even large fires(not quite weather, but could be)

(0.7)(0.4)=0.28 because 7×4 is 28 and you just add a 0
14.6 is the constant because no matter how many hours she will work (that number could change) it will always be a linear growth of 14.6.
