Dad gets paid £16.50 for three hours' work.

Question

How much would he receive for a day's work? (8 hours)

Answer 1

To calculate the amount of money that dad would receive for a day's work, we can use a proportion:

If dad gets paid £16.50 for 3 hours of work, then he would get paid x for 8 hours of work.

Let's solve for x:

16.50/3 = x/8

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:

3x = 16.50 x 8

3x = 132

x = 44

Therefore, dad would receive £44 for a day's work (8 hours).
