To calculate how much you would earn if you worked 143 days and 5 minutes at a rate of $17 per hour, we'll first need to convert the total time worked into hours.
-
Convert days to hours:
- 143 days × 24 hours/day = 3,432 hours
-
Convert minutes to hours:
- 5 minutes ÷ 60 minutes/hour = 0.0833 hours (approximately)
-
Total hours worked:
- Total hours = 3,432 hours + 0.0833 hours = 3,432.0833 hours
-
Calculate the total earnings:
- Total earnings = Hourly rate × Total hours
- Total earnings = $17/hour × 3,432.0833 hours ≈ $58,356.42
Now, let's see the amount you would earn in five days and 99 minutes.
-
Convert five days to hours:
- 5 days × 24 hours/day = 120 hours
-
Convert 99 minutes to hours:
- 99 minutes ÷ 60 minutes/hour = 1.65 hours
-
Total hours in five days and 99 minutes:
- Total hours = 120 hours + 1.65 hours = 121.65 hours
-
Calculate the total earnings for five days and 99 minutes:
- Total earnings = Hourly rate × Total hours
- Total earnings = $17/hour × 121.65 hours ≈ $2,067.05
To summarize:
- If you worked 143 days and 5 minutes, you would earn approximately $58,356.42.
- If you worked 5 days and 99 minutes, you would earn approximately $2,067.05.
Therefore, the statement about getting to $2,432.42 seems incorrect for the specified hours.
