Lucy has to work 40.0 hours this week. She has worked a total of 32.8 hours. She reported to work at 7.55 am. What time will Lucy get off today?
It's very simple. There's 8.2 hours until she reaches 40, now add 7:55 to 8.5 on your calculator, you'll get 15.75. 15 is 3:00 and 75 would be an hour and 15 minutes. I'd say 4:15.
good, but make that 7.2 hours ...
"Helping ppl out" needs to --
1. pick ONE name and keep it.
2. stop posting answers without explanation.
3. stop posting explanations with errors.
=(
To determine the time Lucy will get off today, we need to calculate the remaining hours she has to work and add them to her start time.
First, subtract the total hours Lucy has already worked from the hours she is required to work this week: 40.0 hours - 32.8 hours = 7.2 hours remaining.
Next, convert the remaining hours to minutes. Since each hour has 60 minutes, multiply the remaining hours by 60: 7.2 hours * 60 minutes = 432 minutes remaining.
Add the remaining minutes to Lucy's start time of 7.55 am: 7.55 am + 432 minutes = 7:55 am + 7 hours and 12 minutes = 3:07 pm.
Therefore, Lucy will get off today at 3:07 pm.
