Sam works 8 hours per day, 6 days a week, delivering flowers. If he earns $5.50 per hour, how much does he make in 4 weeks?
Explanation
First we need to convert 4 weeks into hours. Sam works 6 days a week, so in 4 weeks he works \(6 \times 4\) days. He works 8 hours per day, so in \(6 \times 4\)days he works \(8 \times 6 \times 4\) hours. He earns \( \$5.50\) per hour, so in 6 x 4 x 8 hours he earns \(8 \times 6 \times 4 \times 5.50\)
