Question

Carl earned $6.20 per hour and worked 6 1/2 hours per day. What is the best estimate of his earning for a five-day work week?

Answer 1

Carl works 6 1/2 hours per day = 6.5 hours per day
for 5 days that would be
$6.5 \times 5 = 32.5 \: hours$
So his earning for a 5 day work week is
$6.20 \times 32.5 = 201.5 \: dollars$
