To find the average hourly living wage for each adult, we need to divide the monthly cost of living by the number of hours worked by both adults combined.
Assuming a full-time workweek of 40 hours each, both adults work a total of 2 * 40 = <<2*40=80>>80 hours per week.
In a month with 4 weeks, they work a total of 80 * 4 = <<80*4=320>>320 hours each.
The total number of hours worked by both adults in a month is therefore 2 * 320 = <<2*320=640>>640 hours.
To find the average hourly wage, we divide the monthly cost of living by the total number of hours worked:
Average hourly wage = $3,784 / 640 = $5.91
Rounding to the nearest hundredth, the average hourly living wage for each adult is $5.91.
For a family of 4, the estimated monthly cost of living in Fort Worth, Texas is $3,784. If there are 2 full-time working adults in the family, what is the average hourly living wage of each in order to support their basic needs? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.(1 point)
