Question

blair worked for $4\frac{2}{5}$ hours and earned $36.30. how much would she earn if she worked for $5\frac{4}{5}$ hours? enter your answer in the box. $

Explanation:

Step1: Convert mixed hours to fractions

$4\frac{2}{5} = \frac{22}{5}$ hours, $5\frac{4}{5} = \frac{29}{5}$ hours

Step2: Calculate hourly wage

$\text{Hourly wage} = \frac{36.30}{\frac{22}{5}} = 36.30 \times \frac{5}{22} = 8.25$

Step3: Calculate earnings for new hours

$\text{Total earnings} = 8.25 \times \frac{29}{5} = 8.25 \times 5.8 = 47.85$

Answer:

$47.85$
