Marla drives her car to school each day. If it takes her 12 minutes to drive one way, how many hours a week does Marla spend driving? (Express the answer in decimal form.)
one way that might help you get the answer is (12+12)x5 because only one way is 12 minutes and she goes to school five days a week and round trip she spends 24 minutes
To convert it to hours, divide by 60
An automobile maker has an order for 7,500 new cars to be delivered in one week. Each car must be fitted with a new hood ornament that requires 1 hour and 15 minutes to install. Assuming the factory operates on a standard workweek shift (8 hours per day for 5 days), how many workers must be assigned this job to meet the deadline?
12
To find out how many hours a week Marla spends driving, we need to calculate the total time she spends driving in one week.
Step 1: Find the total time Marla spends driving in one day.
Since it takes her 12 minutes to drive one way, the total time she spends driving in one day is 12 minutes for the trip to school and 12 minutes for the trip back home. So, the total time is 12 minutes + 12 minutes = 24 minutes.
Step 2: Convert the total time from minutes to hours.
There are 60 minutes in an hour, so to convert 24 minutes to hours, divide 24 by 60.
24 minutes ÷ 60 = 0.4 hours.
Step 3: Calculate the total time Marla spends driving in one week.
Since Marla drives to school each day, we need to multiply the daily driving time by the number of school days in a week. Let's assume there are 5 school days in a week.
Total weekly driving time = 0.4 hours/day × 5 days/week = 2 hours/week.
Therefore, Marla spends 2 hours a week driving.
