If Sue worked 6 3/4 hours on Monday, 4 hours on Tuesday, 7 3/4 hours on Wednesday, 8 hours on Thursday, and 5 1/2 hours on Friday, calculate her weekly wage at $7.20 per hour.
230.4
6 3/4 + 4 + 7 3/4 + 8 + 5 2/4 = 30 8/4 = 32 hours
32 * 7.2 = ?
To calculate Sue's weekly wage, we need to first find the total number of hours she worked in a week.
Let's calculate it step by step:
1. Sue worked 6 3/4 hours on Monday and 4 hours on Tuesday.
The total hours worked on these two days = 6 3/4 + 4 = 10 3/4 hours.
2. Sue worked 7 3/4 hours on Wednesday.
The total hours worked from Monday to Wednesday = 10 3/4 + 7 3/4 = 18 6/4 hours.
Simplifying, we have 18 6/4 hours = 18 + 1 2/4 hours = 19 1/2 hours.
3. Sue worked 8 hours on Thursday.
The total hours worked from Monday to Thursday = 19 1/2 + 8 = 27 1/2 hours.
4. Sue worked 5 1/2 hours on Friday.
The total hours worked for the week = 27 1/2 + 5 1/2 = 33 hours.
Now that we have Sue's total hours worked in a week, we can calculate her weekly wage.
5. Sue's wage per hour is $7.20.
Multiply Sue's total hours worked by her wage per hour to calculate her weekly wage:
Weekly wage = 33 hours * $7.20/hour = $<<33*7.20=237.60>>237.60.
Therefore, Sue's weekly wage at $7.20 per hour is $237.60.
To calculate Sue's weekly wage, we need to add up the total number of hours she worked and multiply it by her hourly rate.
First, let's calculate the total number of hours Sue worked during the week:
Sue worked 6 3/4 hours on Monday.
To add a mixed number like 6 3/4 to a whole number, we need to convert the mixed number to an improper fraction. The improper fraction equivalent of 6 3/4 is (4*6 + 3)/4 = 27/4.
So Sue worked a total of 27/4 hours on Monday.
Sue worked 4 hours on Tuesday, 7 3/4 hours on Wednesday, 8 hours on Thursday, and 5 1/2 hours on Friday.
Adding up the hours she worked each day:
27/4 + 4 + 31/4 + 8 + 11/2
To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 4 and 2 is 4, so we can convert 8 to 16/2 and 11/2 to 22/4.
(27/4 + 4 + 31/4 + 16/2 + 22/4)
= (27/4 + 31/4 + 22/4 + 16/2 + 4/4)
= (96/4)
= 24
So Sue worked a total of 24 hours during the week.
Next, we'll calculate Sue's weekly wage by multiplying the total hours worked by her hourly rate:
24 hours * $7.20/hour = $172.80
Therefore, Sue's weekly wage is $172.80.
