How many hours does he work in five days?

Question

Shankar starts work at 8:45 am and finishes at 5:15 pm. He is given a break of 90 minutes. How many hours does he work in five days?

Answer 1

35 hrs

---

5:15 PM- 8:45 AM- 90 min = 7 hrs a day so 7*5=35 hrs in 5 days

Answer 2

Let us calculate number of hours worked on a single day
The period between 8,45 and 17,15 , it is actually 8 hours and 30 min
A break of 90 min means 1 hour and 30 min
Then , Shankar works (8 hours 30 min - 1 hour 30 min) equals to 7 hours / day
In five days he works 7 x 5 = 35 hours
