Q. Scott has different chores depending on the season. During the 5 warm months, he mows the yard which takes him about 1 in a half hours each week. During the 7 cold months, he shovels snow when needed. This winter he shoveled snow for a total of 6 hours. How many hours of chores did he average per month. (Hint there are 4 weeks in each month)

A. Do i mulpite 5 by 2 = 10, than + 1 = 11, mulpite 7 by 11, than get the answer and mulpite by it by 6 ??
Summer = 5 * 4 * 1.5 = hours/week
It would help if you proofread your questions before you posted them.
He only did 6 hours of shoveling for the 7 cold months? Mighty sparse snowfall.

Scott has different chores depending on the season. During the 5 warm months he mows the lawn, which takes about 1 in a half each week. During the 7 cold months, he shovels the snow when needed. This winter he shoveled show for total of 6 hours. How many chores did he do for average each month?
Should it be 5*4*1.5=30
To find the average number of hours of chores Scott does per month, we need to calculate the total number of hours he spends on chores and divide it by the total number of months.
First, let's calculate the total number of hours he spends on mowing the yard during warm months. Scott mows the yard for 1.5 hours each week, and there are 5 warm months in a year:
1.5 hours/week x 5 months = 7.5 hours
Next, let's calculate the total number of hours he spends shoveling snow during cold months. This winter, Scott shoveled snow for a total of 6 hours, and there are 7 cold months in a year.
To find the average number of hours of chores per month, we add the total hours spent on both mowing and shoveling, and divide by the total number of months:
(7.5 hours + 6 hours) / (5 months + 7 months)
13.5 hours / 12 months
The average number of hours of chores Scott does per month is approximately 1.13 hours.
