A person came to work at 8:30 am, went out at 11:45 am, had lunch, came in at 12:30 pm, and left at 5:15 pm. How many hours did this person work?

8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

A person came to work by 8:30 am

He went out to lunch 11:45 am and came back 12:30 pm

He closed 5:15 pm

Therefore the total hours worked that day can be calculated as follows

Time worked from 8:30 am to 11:45 am is 3 hours 15 mins

Time worked for 12:30 pm to 5:15 pm is 4 hours 45 mins

3 hours 15 mins + 4 hours 45 mins

= 8 hours

Hence the total hours worked that day is 8 hours
