amelia worked for 5 hours and 30 minutes. how should she write that on her
time card?

a. 5.25

b. 5.3

c. 5.5

d. 5.75

Explanation:

Step1: Convert minutes to hours

We know that 1 hour = 60 minutes. To convert 30 minutes to hours, we use the formula: $\text{hours} = \frac{\text{minutes}}{60}$. So for 30 minutes, it is $\frac{30}{60} = 0.5$ hours.

Step2: Add to the whole hours

Amelia worked 5 hours plus 0.5 hours from the 30 minutes. So total time is $5 + 0.5 = 5.5$ hours.

Answer:

C. 5.5
