He worked 40 regular hours.

He 4 hours beyond 40.

He worked 40 + 4(1.5) = 40 + 6 = 46 adjusted hours

Step-by-step explanation:

John worked 44 hours and a regular work week is 40 hours. This means John worked 40 regular hours plus 4 hours over time. He receives time and a half or 1.5 for each hour over 40.

So 40 + 4(1.5) = 40+6=46 adjusted hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. State the given;

Convert to improper fractions;

1 1/4 blackberries

5/4 blackberries

Simplify;

Twice as many blueberries;

5/4 *2

10/4

5/2

2. Find the total amount of berries;

Simplify;

blackberries + blueberries

= 5/4 + 5/2

*note; convert to like denominators

= 5/4 + 10/4

= 15/4

3. Divide by the amount that the recipe calls for;

Total / required

15/4 / 3/4

*note; dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by the fraction's reciprocal

15/4 * 3/4

45/16

*note; convert to a mixed number

2 13/16

Remember, for the sake of the problem, one can only make a full recipe, hence the answer is 2.
