Please help me on this question: How much money does Carl earn each week for walking the dogs?
Carl walks the dogs 5 hours and 50 minutes per week. He earns $3.25 per hour....
5 hours and 50 minutes = 5.83333 hours
5.833333 * 3.25 = ?
3.25 * (5 5/6) = 13/4 * 35/6 = 455/24 = $18.96
Thanks it helped
@steve i thought it was $18.97? because he earns $2.7083 per day and then it gets rounded to $2.71 and 2.71x7 is 18.97...
To find out how much money Carl earns each week for walking the dogs, you need to calculate the total amount earned based on the number of hours and minutes he works and the rate at which he is paid.
First, convert the minutes to decimal format. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so 50 minutes is equal to 50/60 = 0.83 of an hour.
Now, add the hours and the converted minutes together to find the total number of hours Carl works: 5 + 0.83 = 5.83 hours per week.
Next, multiply the total number of hours worked by the hourly rate to find the total amount earned each week: 5.83 * $3.25 = $18.98.
Therefore, Carl earns $18.98 each week for walking the dogs.
