0.33 hours
3.3 hours
33 hours
330 hours

Answer 1

To determine how many hours Emilio worked, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Hours worked} = \frac{\text{Paycheck amount}}{\text{Hourly wage}}
\]

Substituting in Emilio's paycheck and hourly wage:

\[
\text{Hours worked} = \frac{305.25}{9.25}
\]

Now, perform the calculation:

\[
\text{Hours worked} = 33
\]

So, Emilio worked **33 hours**. The correct answer is **33 hours**.
