Delia works from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and has one hour each day for lunch. How much does she earn for a five-day workweek at $4.80 per hour?

From 8am to 4:30pm, there are 8 hours and 30 minutes. Subtract one hour for lunch, she worked (was paid) 7.5 hours per day.

Over 5 days, she worked 5*7.5=37.5 hours.
At $4.80 and hour, she makes $4.80*37.5=?

To calculate Delia's earnings for a five-day workweek, we need to determine the number of hours she works each day, excluding lunchtime.

Step 1: Subtract the lunch break duration from the total work hours per day.
Total work hours per day = 4:30 p.m. - 8:00 a.m. = 8 hours and 30 minutes
Lunch break duration = 1 hour
Total work hours per day (excluding lunch) = 8 hours and 30 minutes - 1 hour = 7 hours and 30 minutes

Step 2: Multiply the work hours per day by the number of workdays in a week.
Work hours per week = 7 hours and 30 minutes per day × 5 days per week

Note: We need to convert the minutes into decimal form by dividing it by 60.
Work hours per week = (450 minutes ÷ 60) hours per day × 5 days per week
Work hours per week = 7.5 hours per day × 5 days per week

Step 3: Multiply the work hours per week by the hourly wage to find the total earnings.
Total earnings = Work hours per week × Hourly wage

Given that the hourly wage is $4.80, we can calculate Delia's earnings for a five-day workweek.

Total earnings = 7.5 hours per day × 5 days per week × $4.80 per hour
Total earnings = 37.5 hours per week × $4.80 per hour
Total earnings = $180 per week

Therefore, Delia earns $180 for a five-day workweek at $4.80 per hour.

To calculate how much Delia earns for a five-day workweek, we need to calculate how many hours she works each day and then multiply that by her hourly rate.

Delia works from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., which is a total of 8.5 hours (4:30 p.m. - 8:00 a.m. = 8 hours + 30 minutes = 8.5 hours).

Since she has one hour for lunch every day, we subtract that from her total work hours. Therefore, Delia works 8.5 hours - 1 hour = 7.5 hours each day.

To find the total hours for a five-day workweek, we multiply the daily hours by the number of workdays in a week: 7.5 hours/day * 5 days/week = 37.5 hours/week.

Finally, to calculate Delia's earnings for the week, we multiply the total hours worked by her hourly rate of $4.80/hr. Therefore, Delia earns 37.5 hours * $4.80/hour = $180 for a five-day workweek.
