To calculate:to solve the following
Hours per shift * Number of shifts = Total hours worked | |||
6 h shift | ? | ? | ? |
8 h shift | ? | x | ? |
Answer to Problem 1P
Maria worked 14 shifts of 8 hours.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:She worked twice as many 6 hours shifts as 8 hour shifts and she worked a total of 280 hours.

|
|
8 h shift | 8 |
|
|
Total hours worked is given 280, so we can write an equation
