Area = 15' x 24' = ?? square feet.
Convert square feet to square yards knowing there are 9 square feet in 1 square yard. Then # square yards x $1 per square yard = total cost.
#4 A part time employee worked a total of 16 1/2 hours during 5 days of the past week. What was this employee's average workday? answer 3 hrs and 18 mins
16.5 hours/5 days = average hours/day. = 3.3 hours. or the 0.3 can converted to minutes by 60 min/hr x 0.3 hr = 18 minutes.
#6 After an article is discounted at 25% it sells for $112.50. The original price of the article was? answer 150.00
cost - 0.25 x cost = 112.50
cost and 1 x cost are the same so re can rewrite it as
1 x cost - 0.25 x cost = 112.50
0.75 x cost = 112.50
cost = 112.50/0.75 = ??

The time difference between NY and LA is 3 hours. So take the difference between 3:30 and 4:15 = :45 or 45 minutes. So the flight took 3 hours and 45 minutes. Check my thinking. I believe the answer of 3 hours and 15 minutes is not correct.
