Answer 1

Answer:

In decimals A= 7.25 , B = 6.75 , C=5.2 and D=6.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Tom works part-time at a theme park.

Tom needs to complete his time sheet in decimals.

Consider the time sheet as shown below in image attached,

We need to calculate the value of A , B, C and D in decimals.

Since,  A , B, C and D denotes the total work Tom Jackson did on respective days.

Thus, A is the total hours Tom Jackson worked along with the  part-time hours he worked.

A= hour worked + fraction hour worked

$A=7+\frac{1}{4}\\\\\\\text{Taking LCM , we get}\\\\\ A=\frac{28+1}{4}=\frac{29}{4}=7.25$

Similarly for B, C and D

B= hour worked + fraction hour worked

$B=6+\frac{3}{4}\\\\\\\text{Taking LCM , we get}\\\\\ B=\frac{24+30}{4}=\frac{27}{4}=6.75$

C= hour worked + fraction hour worked

$C=5+\frac{1}{5}\\\\\\\text{Taking LCM , we get}\\\\\ C=\frac{25+1}{5}=\frac{26}{5}=5.2$

D = hour worked + fraction hour worked

$D=6+\frac{1}{10}\\\\\\\text{Taking LCM , we get}\\\\\ D=\frac{60+1}{10}=\frac{61}{10}=6.1$

Thus, In decimals A= 7.25 , B = 6.75 , C=5.2 and D=6.1
