Amal Worked a total of 30 hours last week. On Saturday And Sunday He Worked 5 times as many hours than he worked the rest of the week. How many Hours Did He Work The Rest Of The Week?

Let x represent the number of hours he worked during the weekdays (not Saturday or Sunday).
If x is how much he worked on the weekdays and he worked 5 times as much on Sat and Sun, then hopefully you agree that on Sat and Sun he worked 5x hours.
So we have 5x hours on the weekends and x hours on the weekdays, so in total for the whole week we have 5x + x = 6x hours in total.
The question tells us that he worked 30 hours total, so 6x = 30
Divide both sides by 6 to isolate x and we have x = 5.
He worked 5 hours the rest of the week.

Hope this helps. If it does, please be sure to make this the brainliest answer! :)

Answer:

Where do you get 6 from?

5x + x = 6x. This is esentially 5+1=6

I know i know, but where in the problem, do you get 6 from? 6 isn’t give in the word problem.

So we have 5x hours on the weekends and x hours on the weekdays, so in total for the whole week we have 5x + x = 6x hours in total.

The question tells us that he worked 30 hours total, so 6x = 30

where do you get 6 from? Its not stated in the word problem tho im confused

Is it because 30/5 = 6?

Oh ok. We have that he worked 5x hours during the weekend and x hours during the weekdays. 5x + x = 6x hours for the weekend and weekdays combined    The problem at the very beginning states that "Amal worked a total of 30 hours last week". So we know that Amal worked 6x hours from before. He also worked 30 hours. The 6x and the 30 are the same thing. so we can set them equal to each other
