Dad gets paid £16.50 for three hours' work.
How much would he receive for a day's work? (8 hours)
To calculate the amount of money that dad would receive for a day's work, we can use a proportion:
If dad gets paid £16.50 for 3 hours of work, then he would get paid x for 8 hours of work.
Let's solve for x:
16.50/3 = x/8
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
3x = 16.50 x 8
3x = 132
x = 44
Therefore, dad would receive £44 for a day's work (8 hours).
