Question #0f59f

Answer 1

$54.25

Explanation:

We can find the total amount of hours Doug has worked, then multiply that by the hourly rate of $10.50.

The sum of 1 hour cleaning, 2 hours doing paperwork, 1 hour serving customers, 1/2 hour doing dishes and 2/3 of an hour cooking can be calculated like so:

`1 + 2 + 1 + 1/2 + 2/3 = 5 1/6`

Then multiply the `5 1/6` hours by the $10.50 per hour rate.

`5 1/6 * 10.50 = 54 1/4` or `54.25` dollars.

Answer 2

`$54.25`

Explanation:

As Doug earns $10.50/hour of work, we need to find how many hours he works. He works:

1 hour cleaning
2 hours doing paperwork
1 hour serving customers
1/2 hour doing dishes
2/3 hours cooking

If you add all of these together, Doug worked for:

`1+2+1+1/2+2/3=`

`6/6+12/6+6/6+3/6+4/6=`

`31/6 = 5.16 "hours"`

Now that we know how many hours Doug worked, we can find how much money he made because we also know how much money he made during each of those hours ($10.50):

`5.16"hour"* ($10.50)/(1"hour") = $54.25`

In conclusion, Doug made `$54.25`
