Lisa works on the grounds crew of a local golf course. Her regular pay is $11.50/h. She is paid overtime at 1 1⁄2 the regular rate on any day she works over 8 h or if she works over 45 h/wk. The payroll clerk calculates her gross pay from her weekly time sheet. Time in hours and minutes spent on the job is converted to hours rounded to two decimal places. a. On a Monday last August, Linda worked 9 h 25 min. What is her time in hours?
b. Calculate Linda’s gross pay for the Monday.

a. 9.42 hours   b. $116.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The time in hours would be 9.42. Since it's 9 hours and 25 minutes, you find the answer by adding 9 + (25 min/60 min).

The gross pay would be ($11.50 * 8) + ($17.25 * 1.42). This is 92 + 24.495 = $116.50 total gross pay for Monday. The number 17.25 comes from the regular pay -- $11.50/h -- times 1.5 (since it's 1 1/2 the regular rate for over time), and the 1.42 comes from 9.42 h - 8 h, since the first 8 hours Lisa is paid the regular rate and any hours over that are the overtime rate.

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
