I make 9$ an hour, and i worked from 6:04 to 9:33 how much did i make?

1 answer

To calculate how much you made, first, we need to find the total number of hours you worked. Let's break down the time:

  • You started working at 6:04 and finished at 9:33.
  • From 6:04 to 9:00 is 2 hours and 56 minutes.
  • From 9:00 to 9:33 is an additional 33 minutes.

Now, let's add the time together:

  • Total time worked: 2 hours and 56 minutes + 33 minutes = 2 hours and 89 minutes.

Since 89 minutes is equivalent to 1 hour and 29 minutes, we can convert that as follows:

  • Total time worked: 2 hours + 1 hour = 3 hours and 29 minutes.

Now we'll convert 29 minutes into hours in decimal form:

  • 29 minutes is approximately \( \frac{29}{60} \) hours, which equals about 0.483 hours.

So total hours worked = 3 + 0.483 = 3.483 hours.

Now, to find out how much you earned, multiply the total hours by your hourly wage:

\[ 3.483 \text{ hours} \times 9 \text{ dollars/hour} \approx 31.35 \text{ dollars}. \]

Therefore, you made approximately $31.35.
