Lawrence worked 8 hours each day on Monday, Tuesday and Friday. He worked 5.5 hours on both Wednesday and Thursday. How many hours would Lawrence work each day if he worked the same number of hours each day? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
8 hours * 3 = 24 hours. 5.5 * 2 = 11 hours. 24 + 11 = 35 hours. 35 / 7 = 5 hours. Lawrence would work 5 hours each of the 7 days in a week. So, the answer is 5.
