A worker is paid from Noon to 3 PM. They get a 15-minute break during their paid time.
Enter the percent of the number of minutes in their break as a part of their whole paid shift. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.
This is so confusing!

Sagot :

Answer:

8.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

A worker is paid from noon to 3 pm. So the worker works for 3 hours.

To find the percentage, we need to have the same units.

To do this, convert 3 hours to minutes and get 180 minutes.

We can now write a fraction (break minutes/total work time) to find the percent of the number of minutes in their break as a part of their whole paid shift.

This fraction is 15/180.

We can now simplify this fraction to 1/12.

Then convert into decimal form and get 0.0833.

Finally convert this decimal into a percentage by multiplying by 100 and get 8.3%
8.3%
They work for 3 hours
15m / 3h is paid break ( 15/180 )
That is 8.33%
