Jason and Donny painted a house and received $1.200. To complete the painting job Jason painted 4 hours 25 minutes and Donny spent 2 hours and 15 minutes. If they split the $1.200 in proportion to the amount of time each spent painting, how much did Donny receive?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

$405

Step-by-step explanation:

Total hours = 4 hrs 25 min + 2 hrs 15 min = 6 hrs 40 min = 400 min

4 hrs 25 min = 265 minutes

2 hrs 15 min = 135 min

Donny's share = [tex]\frac{135}{400} of 1200[/tex]

                        [tex]=\frac{135}{400}*1200=135*3\\\\= 405[/tex]
