Question

Find the number of hours worked from 7:34 A.M.

Answer 1

Answer:

3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

If pay is for full quarter hours, then the worker won't get paid for work intervals of less than 15 minutes.

Subtract 7:34 from 11:48:  we get 3:14 hours.  Because the 14 minutes is less than the 15 minutes of a full quarter hour, the worker won't get paid for those 14 minutes.  

So the 'number of hours worked' is 3 hours.

Note that 3:14 would be 3 hours 14 minutes.
