Answer: The correct answer is 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: 1 cm = 2 3/4 ft ; kitchen length = 4 1/2 cm
2 3/4 = 11/4; 4 1/2= 9/2
11/4 x 9/2 = 99/8 =12 3/8
OR You could use decimals
2 3/4 = 2.75 ; 4 1/2 = 4.5
2.75 x 4.5 = 12.375
12.375 = 12 375/1000 or 12 3/8

Answer:
27 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
The regular hours are paid normally, 21/hr hence working for 40 hours, Michael earns 40*21=$840
To work x hours paid overtime as 1.5 of the normal rate, the rate would be $21*1.5=$31.5/hr
X hours multiplied by rate of $31.5/hr should be at least equal to $840
31.5x>=840
X>=840/31.5>=26.6667 hours and when rounded off
X is 27 hours
