math word problem?

There are 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson will be gone for 5.5 hours; so

60 * 60 * 5.5 * $2.00 = $39,600

P.S. I want this job!! 🙂

The Andersons are away for 5 and a half hours. That is the time from 6 pm to 11:30 pm (assuming the same day). You have to convert 5.5 hours into seconds. There are 60 minutes to the hour so you first convert 5.5 hours into minutes.

5.5 hr x 60 min/hr = 330 minutes.

There are 60 seconds per minute so we multiply the number of minutes by 60 to get the number of seconds.

330 min x 60 sec/min = 19,800 seconds.

Since the fee is $2/min, we must multiply the number of seconds by 2 to get the payment

19,800 sec x $2/sec = $39,600

That is a lot of money for an evening of babysitting

First, you have to find out how many hours she worked. 6:00 to 11:00 is 5.5 hours. Now there are 60 minutes in an hour, you multiply the hours she worked by 60 to find how many minutes she worked: 330 minutes. Do the same to find how many seconds she worked. 330×60=19800. Kathy worked 19,800 seconds at $2 per second, so she earned $39,600. Weird word problem, but I wouldn’t mind being Kathy.

There are 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour. So to find out the number of seconds in an hour, you would multiply 60 x 60 to get 3600 seconds in one hour. Now if you are babysitting from 6 – 11:30 that is 5.5 hours. If you multiply the number of seconds in one hour by the number of hours. i.e. 3600 x 5.5, you will get the number of seconds that you are babysitting total. Now if you get 2 dollars per each second, you would multiply the number of seconds you babysit by 2 to get your answer.

I hope this helps!

Let’s find the elapsed time

Time = 11:30 – 6:00

Time = 5:30 hours or 330 minutes

There are 60 sec/min

seconds = 330 * 60

seconds = 19,800

At $2 per second

Total pay = 19800 * 2

Total pay = $39,600

I would like to apply for this baby sitting job!

.

ok now

from 6:00—>11:30 is 5:30 hours

then take 5:30 hours turn into a Minutes , and from Minutes turn into second , than times 2

Super easy

Yea, it’s easy…

$2 a second x 60 (seconds in a minute) = $120 a minute

$120 x 60 (minutes in a hour) = $7200 a hour

total of 5 1/2 hours…

$7200 x 5.5 = $39,600 total

That’s a lot of money. 🙂

It is relatively simple there are 3600 seconds in an hour. She is working for 5 1/2 hours. She is working for 19800 seconds so she will make 39600 dollars. Nice work if you can get it.

According to what is here in this story problem, Kathy will be paid $39,600 for babysitting services.

(I need to start babysitting!)

If it’s $2 per second that means $120 per minute

If it’s $120 per minute its $7200 per hour

If it’s $7200 per hour it’s $39600.

I wouldn’t mind being there baby sitter
