The difference in hours between​ full-timers and the​ part-timers who work 5 hours a day is 3 working hours. How many hours per day do​ full-timers work?

Respuesta :

Answer: 8 hours day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let full-timers work for x hours a day.

Given : The difference in hours between​ full-timers and the​ part-timers who work 5 hours a day is 3 working hours.

i.e. The number of hours a part-timer works in a day = 5 hours

Also, full timers work for more hours than part timers.

Then, we have the following equation:-

[tex]x-5=3\\\\\Rightarrow x=5+3=8[/tex]

Hence, full-timers work 8 hours a day.
