the question said that she was paid some dollars for an hour.i think ur ans is wrong. similarly if rice costs 80 rs per kg. and you buy 1.5 kg rice. would u give 1200 rs or 80 rs saying that rice is bought on kg basis

I did for 8h15 mins too...
There was a past paper question,which said that we have to calculate for completed hours but both answers will be credited.

I have one query from Paper 1.... :oops:
Well, there was that question of Someone who works and gets paid by hour..
The time worked was 8 h 15 min...
So did we have to take the money for the 8 hours only or for the 15 mins tooo.....? :confused:

just 8 hours, because she was being paid per hour, nt per minutes or so, after every hour.

Agreed!
There's a difference between per hour and every hour.

Yeah, but, you get paid for what you work. It's not like her 15 minutes or 30 minutes don't account for anything. If they didn't, why would she work for the extra bit? Yeah, let's just hope for the better.

well, we dont know why she worked for 15 min or what, maybe she had to leave due to any emergency :p

What I did was,first calculated for 8 hours.
Then for 15 minutes.
Although I didn't add both as the question clearly highlighted that she was paid for every hour.
