Answer :
If you work an 8-hour shift on each weekend day and take two weeks off during the year, you will work a total of (a) 800 hours in a year.
To determine the total work hours, first calculate the number of weekends in a year and then adjust for the weeks off.
Steps:
- There are 52 weeks in a year. Each weekend has 2 days, so 52 weekends x 2 days = 104 days.
- Each weekend workday is 8 hours, so 104 days x 8 hours/day = 832 hours.
- You take 2 weeks off, which includes 2 weekends (4 days).
- Adjust for the time off: 4 days x 8 hours/day = 32 hours.
- Subtract the time off from the total hours: 832 hours - 32 hours = 800 hours.
Therefore, the correct answer is: a) 800.
