Math Problem
A secretary received 1547 calls in 45 work days.
A work day is 8 hrs.
Assume each call lasted 1 minute each.
How much time was spent per day on the phone?

No, that was my bad - I left the word "calls" out.

Re: Math Problem
She worked 21,600 minutes and spent 1547 minutes on these calls.
Thats a little over 7% of her time.

Re: Math Problem
How many hours a day she worked was irrelevant

Here would go my step three and the 14 minuets.
But if you are going by what she is saying(about a minuet a call) then she is only spending 4.2 minuets and hour on the phone?
Sounds like she is lying-imo

Not lying - - she just didn't think through her formula. Her answer was how many calls per hour she gets (4.2) and she thought it was 4.2 hours.
I cringe at the thought of how many she has reprimanded in the past for talking on the phone too long and they weren't. Probably even wrote them up.
