if a person work 13$ an hour 3 days a week how much will they make a year

QuestionCoveBot:

Well how many hours are they working in one day?

Lisaneedham:

12

Lisaneedham:

Sorry

QuestionCoveBot:

Okay, so all you have to do is: \[12*3\]To get the total hours in the three days, then do (Total hours is represented as T): \[T*13\]

Lisaneedham:

Then what

QuestionCoveBot:

So what did you get when you did 12*3?

Lisaneedham:

39

QuestionCoveBot:

What....

snowflake0531:

1. Why are you guys multiplying 12 times 2 2. this question makes no sense, how does a person work for 3 days straight

QuestionCoveBot:

How did you get 39?

Lisaneedham:

Oh sorry I did 13*3 it's 36

Not 12 times 2, 12 times 3

QuestionCoveBot:

And yeah, correct, Lisa. So now do 36*3

Lisaneedham:

108

QuestionCoveBot:

Correct. (: That is the total for only the 3 days. Since there are 56 weeks in a year and 7 days in a week. So of course, 7-4 is 3. So to figure out how many days this person is working in a year, we have to multiply 3 and 56.

Lisaneedham:

That would be 168

snowflake0531:

Bro how is there 56 weeks a year

Lisaneedham:

Look it up

QuestionCoveBot:

Wait wait- I meant 52 weeks

Lisaneedham:

Ohhh

Lisaneedham:

Ok thanks for the help I gtg for now I will check this later

Lisaneedham:

And thank snow for correcting us

QuestionCoveBot:

Uhm, okay. What is 52*3 then?

darkknight:

if a person work 13$ an hour 3 days a week how much will they make a year hourly rate in $ per hr, times hrs per day, times days per week, times weeks per year, units cancel out to dollars per year the problem doesn't give how many hours the person works for, so we would need that info, but that is how the unit analysis will play out too

oh lol, still thats how the unit analysis works, to get to dollars per year

Emmawee:

Since there are 56 weeks in a year and 7 days in a week. So of course, 7-4 is 3. So to figure out how many days this person is working in a year, we have to multiply 3 and 56.
