Luis Giron works at the Pancake Palace from 3:00 p.m. until 12:15 a.m. 5 nights a week. If he takes a 30-minute break each evening, how many hours per week does he work?
46.25 hrs 44.75 hrs.
43.75 hrs.
46.25hrs
I'll be glad to check your answer.
Well, if Luis works from 3:00 p.m. until 12:15 a.m., we need to calculate the total number of minutes he works each night. This can be done by subtracting the start time from the end time:
12:15 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. = 8 hours and 15 minutes
However, we need to subtract 30 minutes for his break, so:
8 hours and 15 minutes - 30 minutes = 7 hours and 45 minutes
Since he works 5 nights a week, we can multiply this by 5 to get the total number of hours he works per week:
7 hours and 45 minutes * 5 = 38 hours and 45 minutes
But remember, we still need to convert the 45 minutes to hours by dividing it by 60:
45 minutes / 60 = 0.75 hours
Adding this to the 38 hours gives us:
38 hours + 0.75 hours = 38.75 hours
So, it looks like the correct answer is 38.75 hours per week, which is closest to the option 43.75 hrs.
To determine the number of hours Luis Giron works per week, we need to calculate the total hours he works each night and then multiply by the number of nights he works.
First, let's calculate the total number of hours Luis works each night:
From 3:00 p.m. to 12:15 a.m. is a total of 9 hours and 15 minutes.
If Luis takes a 30-minute break, we subtract that from the total working time:
9 hours and 15 minutes - 30 minutes = 8 hours and 45 minutes.
Now, let's convert the 8 hours and 45 minutes to decimal form:
45 minutes ÷ 60 = 0.75 hours.
So, Luis works 8.75 hours each night.
Since Luis works 5 nights a week, we multiply 8.75 hours by 5:
8.75 hours/night × 5 nights/week = 43.75 hours/week.
Therefore, Luis Giron works 43.75 hours per week.
To calculate the number of hours Luis Giron works per week, we need to determine the total number of hours he works each night and then multiply that by the number of nights he works in a week.
First, let's determine the number of hours Luis works each night. He works from 3:00 p.m. until 12:15 a.m., which is a total of 9 hours and 15 minutes. However, since he takes a 30-minute break each evening, we need to subtract that break time from his total working hours. So, we have:
Total working hours each night = 9 hours and 15 minutes - 30 minutes = 8 hours and 45 minutes
Next, let's calculate the total hours Luis works in a week. Since he works 5 nights a week, we multiply his total working hours each night by 5:
Total working hours per week = 8 hours and 45 minutes * 5 = 43 hours and 45 minutes
Finally, let's convert the minutes to hours. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we divide the minutes by 60:
43 hours and 45 minutes ÷ 60 = 0.725 hours
Now, let's add the hours and the converted minutes together:
43 hours + 0.725 hours = 43.725 hours
Hence, the correct answer is 43.75 hours.
