To calculate how much you made, first determine the total hours worked between 11:40 and 3:17.
- Calculate the total minutes worked:
- From 11:40 to 12:00 is 20 minutes.
- From 12:00 to 3:00 is 3 hours (180 minutes).
- From 3:00 to 3:17 is 17 minutes.
Add these up:
- 20 minutes + 180 minutes + 17 minutes = 217 minutes
-
Convert minutes to hours:
- 217 minutes = 217 / 60 = 3 hours and 37 minutes.
- In decimal form, this is approximately 3.617 hours (since 37 minutes is about 0.617 of an hour).
-
Multiply by your hourly wage:
- If you make $9 an hour, then: \[ 3.617 \text{ hours} \times 9 \text{ dollars/hour} \approx 32.553 \text{ dollars} \]
So, you made approximately $32.55.
