Step-by-step explanation:

they way it is written, she has one of the best paying jobs in the world : $1470 per hour ...

but I guess it is really $14.70 per hour, right ?

that is then her basic wage : $14.70 per hour for 40 hours = 14.7 × 40 = $588.

her overtime rate is then 14.7×1.25 (one time and a quarter) = 18.375 ≈ $18.38

and she gets that rate for all hours beyond the basic 40 hours, so, 52-40 = 12 hours.

12×18.38 = $220.56

or if you need it totally precise

12×18.375 = $220.50

in total, her gross wage for that week is then

588 + 220.56 = $808.56

or totally precise with unrounded hourly rates

588 + 220.5 = $808.50

which would create a mean hourly rate

808.56/52 = $15.54923077... per hour ≈ $15.55 per hour

or

808.5/52 = $15.54807692... per hour ≈ $15.55 per hour

many payroll systems do the rounding of the hourly rates and then calculate the total amount (as the first option here). some others keep the full decimal positions in the calculation and then only round the total (as the second option here).

so, it is the question what your teacher expects here. I cannot tell from the description.

lewis has a bucket with a 5 gallon capacity. lewis puts 12 pints of soapy water in the bucket to wash his car. how many gallons
Tasya [4]
12 pints of soapy water.

8 pints = 1 gallon.

1 pint = 1/8 gallon

12 pints = 12*(1/8)

12 pints =  (12/8) gallons

               = 3/2 = 1.5 gallons.

Since the bucket is 5 gallon capacity, It can hold:

5 - 1.5

= 3.5 gallons more.

But 1 gallon is = 4 quarts.

3.5 gallons = 3.5 * 4 = 14 quarts more.

Ubehebe crater in Death Valley has a diameter of a little more than 1/2 mile. If latisha walks around it's rim at a rate of 2 mi
Yuri [45]
Let's say that the diameter was 1/2 mile. So the diameter is 1/2,  then you need to find the circumference, aka perimeter of the circle. So 1/2 times 3.14 = 1.57 miles So then you would do 1.57/2 = .785 of an hour If you round to nearest tenth The answer is .8 of an hour.
