Question
Hi there, would just like to know how many hours I've worked this week, can you please let me know, they are honest and I am the only one that is working as my wife currently is not so want to support family best as I can. Thank you.

1. 9 – 5.15 with no braek
2. 7.45 – 5.00pm with half hour break
3. 8.30 – 5.00pm with no break
4. 9 – 5 with no braek
5. 9 – 5 with no break.

Answer
A~

8.25 + 8.75 + 8.5 + 8 + 8 = 41.5



Convert 5.15 to 1715 and 1715 - 9 = 815
convert 5 to 1700 and 1700 - 745 = 915 but take away 30 for break and you have 915-30 = 845
convert 5 to 1700  and 1700 - 830 = 830
convert 5 to 1700 and 1700 - 900 = 800 x 2 = 1600

815 + 845 + 830 + 1600 = 4130 = 41.5 hours
