Donald works 1 and 3/4 hour a day at a book store. if he is paid $7 a day, how much money will he make in 5 days?
7x5
1.25x7
To find out how much money Donald will make in 5 days, we first need to calculate his daily earnings.
Donald works for 1 and 3/4 hours each day, which can be written as 1.75 hours. His pay rate is $7 per day.
To calculate his hourly rate, we divide his daily earnings ($7) by the number of hours he works in a day (1.75):
Hourly rate = $7 / 1.75 hours
Hourly rate = $4
Now that we know his hourly rate, we can calculate how much money he will make in 5 days.
Total earnings in 5 days = Hourly rate * Total hours worked in 5 days
Since Donald works for 1 and 3/4 hours each day, the total hours worked in 5 days is 1.75 hours/day * 5 days:
Total hours worked in 5 days = 1.75 hours/day * 5 days
Total hours worked in 5 days = 8.75 hours
Now we can calculate his total earnings in 5 days by multiplying his hourly rate by the total hours worked in 5 days:
Total earnings in 5 days = Hourly rate * Total hours worked in 5 days
Total earnings in 5 days = $4/hour * 8.75 hours
Total earnings in 5 days = $35
Therefore, Donald will make $35 in 5 days of working at the bookstore.
