Question

An employee worked 8 hours on 2 days, 6 hours on 1 day, and 4 hours on 2 days. What is the average number of hours the employee worked per day?

Answer 1

Answer:

6 hours per day

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: An employee worked 8 hours on 2 days, 6 hours on 1 day, and 4 hours on 2 days.

To Find: Average number of hours the employee worked per day

Solution:

Number of hours employee worked for $8$ $\text{hours}$$=2\text{days}$

Total number of hours$=2\times8$

                                    $=16$ $\text{days}$

Number of hours employee worked for $6$ $\text{hours}$$=1\text{days}$

Total number of hours$=1\times8$

                                    $=6$ $\text{days}$

Number of hours employee worked for $4$ $\text{hours}$$=2\text{days}$

Total number of hours$=2\times4$

                                    $=8$ $\text{days}$

Total number of hours employee worked$=16+6+8=30$ $\text{hours}$

Average number of hours employee worked$=\frac{\text{total number of hours employee worked}}{\text{total number of days}}$

                                                                $\frac{30}{5}$

                                                            $=6$ $\text{hours per day}$

average number of hours employee worked is $6$ $\text{hours per day}$

Answer 2

Average of 6 hours per day
