Question

Last Week, Ms. Simpson worked 28 hours. She stocked shelves for 45 minutes each hour for 14 of those hours. The rest of the time she worked in customer service. How many minutes last week did Ms. Simpson work in customer service?

Answer 1

THE 28 HOURS WAS SPLIT INTO 2 PARTS

 

PART 1 - 14 HOURS WHERE 15 MINUTES PER HOUR WERE CUSTOMER SERVICE SO 14(15) = 210 MINUTES

 

PART 2 - 14 HOURS WHERE 60 MINUTES PER HOUR WERE CUSTOMER SERVICE SO 14(60) = 840 MINUTES

 

ADD 210 + 840 = 1050 MINUTES SPENT WORKING CUSTOMER SERVICE
