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?
43.75
To find out how many hours Luis Giron works per week, we need to calculate the total number of hours worked each night and then multiply it by the number of nights he works.
First, let's calculate the total working hours in a single night by subtracting the break time from the total shift time:
Shift time = 12:15 AM - 3:00 PM = 9 hours and 15 minutes
Convert 15 minutes to hours: 15 minutes / 60 minutes = 0.25 hours
Total working hours per night = 9 hours + 0.25 hours = 9.25 hours
Since Luis Giron works 5 nights a week, we can multiply the total working hours per night by 5 to get the total working hours per week:
Total working hours per week = 9.25 hours/night * 5 nights/week = 46.25 hours/week
Therefore, Luis Giron works 46.25 hours per week at the Pancake Palace.
