Calculate the pay for the following day of a weekly time card given a wage of $14/hr.

Morning:
In 08:00
Out 12:00
Afternoon:
In 12:45
Out 17:30

pay = $[?]

 $122.50

Step-by-step explanation:

In          Out

8:00    12:00    = 4 hours

12:45    17:30   = 4.75 hours  

          Total        8.75 hours

8.75 hours x $14/hr = $122.50

Note: to subtract 12:45 from 17:30, borrow 1 hour from 17 and add 60 minutes to 30:

 17:30       →         16:90

- 12:45                - 12:45

                            4: 45

4 hours 45 minutes = = 4.75 hours

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents
