Jorge records hours each day on a time sheet.Last week when he was ill,his time sheet was incomplete.If Jorge worked a total of 30.5 hours last week,how many hours are missing?

Answer 1

Answer:

6.75 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please consider the table of hours worked.

We have been given that Jorge records hours each day on a time sheet. Last week when he was ill, his time sheet was incomplete. Jorge worked a total of 30.5 hours last week.

To find the number of missing hours, we will subtract the sum of hours in table from 30.5 hours as:

$30.5-(8+7\frac{1}{4}+8\frac{1}{2})$

$30.5-(8+7.25+8.5)$

$30.5-(23.75)$

$6.75$

Therefore, 6.75 hours are missing from the table.
