Answer:
[tex]12\frac{1}{2}[/tex] hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Phyllis Doran worked at Symmes Medical Center for 7 1/2 hours on Monday and from 8:00 a.M. Until 1:00 p.M.
Let us find the number of hours between 8:00 am to 1:00 pm.
There are 4 hours between 8:00 am to 12 noon and 1 hour from noon to 1:00 pm. So the total number of hours between 8:00 am to 1:00 pm is 5 hours.
Now let us find total number of hours worked by Phyllis Doran by adding 7 1/2 and 5.
[tex]\text{The total number of hours Doran worked}=7\frac{1}{2}+5[/tex]
[tex]\text{The total number of hours Doran worked}=12\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Therefore, the total number of hours worked by Phyllis Doran is [tex]12\frac{1}{2}[/tex] hours.
