Marco works from 5:30 P.M. to 7:30 P.M. on Mondays and Wednesdays. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, he works from 3:00 P.M. to 8:30 P.M. How many hours does he work each week?

Explanation

From 5:30 P.M. to 7:30 P.M. is 2 hours. He works those hours on 2 days of the week for a total of 4 hours. From 3:00 P.M. to 8:30 P.M. is 5 hours and 30 minutes, or \(5 \frac {1}{2}\) hours. He works those hours on 2 days of the week, for a total of \(10\frac {2}{2}\), or 11, hours. The Monday and Wednesday total of 4 plus the Tuesday and Thursday total of 11 gives a weekly total of 15 hours.
