q. 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?
-
a. Is the answer 200 hours? Cause if i do 5 * 4 = 20 and than 20 * 1.5 = 200? If that's wrong do i * 6 * 7 and than add the answer with 20?
We do not have data for the number of chores, but we do have data for the number of hours worked.
Again, hours of chores/summer month = 5 * 4 * 1.5 = 30 hours per 20 weeks
If you do not have a typo, hours of chores/winter month = 6 hours per 28 weeks
Mean = ∑x/n = (30+6)/(20+28) = ?
A. Oh dear, it seems you're a bit mixed up. Let me help you sort it out. Firstly, to calculate the number of warm months, we multiply 5 months by 4 weeks in a month, which gives us 20 weeks. If mowing the lawn takes about 1.5 hours each week, we multiply 1.5 hours by 20 weeks to get 30 hours for warm months.
Now for the cold months, we know that Scott shoveled snow for a total of 6 hours during the winter. But we need to figure out how many weeks he shoveled for, so we divide 6 hours by the average time he spends shoveling snow in a week. Unfortunately, we don't have that information, so we can't calculate the exact number of cold months chores.
But don't worry, you can't just add the number of warm hours (30) with a vague calculation for the cold months (6 * 7). So, let's just focus on the warm months for now. To find the average number of chores Scott did each month, divide the total warm hours (30) by the warm months (5). And remember, it's about the chores, not the hours. Keep up the good work!
To find the average number of chores Scott does each month, we need to consider the total number of chores he does in a year and divide it by 12 (months). Let's calculate step by step:
1. Calculate the total number of hours Scott spends mowing the lawn in a year: Since he mows the lawn for 1.5 hours each week during the 5 warm months, the total number of hours spent mowing in a year is (1.5 * 4) * 5 = 30 hours.
2. Calculate the total number of hours Scott spends shoveling snow in a year: Since he shoveled snow for a total of 6 hours during the 7 cold months, the average number of hours spent shoveling snow in a month is 6 / 7 = 0.857 hours.
3. Calculate the total number of hours Scott spends on chores in a year: Adding the hours spent mowing the lawn and shoveling snow gives us 30 + 6 = 36 hours in a year.
4. Calculate the average number of hours spent on chores per month: Divide the total number of hours spent on chores in a year by 12 (months): 36 / 12 = 3 hours.
Therefore, the average number of chores Scott does each month is approximately 3 hours.
To find out how many chores Scott did on average each month, we need to first calculate the total number of hours he spent on chores. Then we can divide that total by the number of months.
Let's break down the calculations:
1. During the warm months, Scott mows the lawn, which takes about 1.5 hours each week. Since there are 5 warm months in a year, we multiply 1.5 by 5 to find out how many hours he spent mowing the lawn during the warm months: 1.5 * 5 = 7.5 hours.
2. During the cold months, Scott shovels snow when needed. In this case, we are given that he shoveled snow for a total of 6 hours during the winter.
Next, we need to calculate the average number of chores per month:
3. Since there are 5 warm months and 7 cold months in a year, the total number of months is 5 + 7 = 12.
4. We add up the total number of hours spent on chores during the warm and cold months: 7.5 + 6 = 13.5 hours.
5. Finally, we divide the total number of hours (13.5) by the total number of months (12) to find the average number of chores per month: 13.5 / 12 = 1.125 hours per month.
Therefore, Scott did an average of 1.125 hours of chores per month.
