0. ALGEBRA Jane Able is paid $14.85 an hour for a regular 40-hour work week. Her overtime pay for any hours over 40 per
week is 1/2 times her regular hourly rate. This past week Jane

18 hours of overtime done by Jane

Step-by-step explanation:

Regular weekly payment = 40 x $14.85 = $594

She earned $727.65.

The total overtime payment = $727.65 - $594 = $133.65

Overtime payment per hour is $14.85/2 = $7.425

$133.65 : $7.425 = 18hours overtime

But, is it me that understand the question in the wrong way or is the question itself is weird? Why would somebody work overtime if the wage is lower than the regular hour?

30 miles

step-by-step explanation:

we know that 60 seconds equals 1 minute and 60 minutes 1 hour

44 ft       60 sec     60 min     158400   ft

  *   *   =

1 sec       1 min       1 hour         hour

we know that there are 5280 ft per mile

158400   ft       1 mile         30 miles

  *   =

1   hour               5280 ft     1 hour

so in 1 hour   it can travel 30 miles
