how many hours total did mr. vem work?
____ hours

Explanation:

Step1: Sum the daily hours

We add up the hours for each day: \( 8.4 + 8.2 + 8.4 + 8.5 + 8.1 + 9.4 \)

Step2: Calculate the total

First, add \( 8.4 + 8.2 = 16.6 \), then \( 16.6 + 8.4 = 25 \), then \( 25 + 8.5 = 33.5 \), then \( 33.5 + 8.1 = 41.6 \), then \( 41.6 + 9.4 = 51 \)

Answer:

51
