Question 329598: To be eligible for financial aid, Alisa must work at least 15 hours per week in a work-study program. She wants to spend at least 5 more hours studying than working each week. What is the minimum number of hours per day (Monday through Friday) that she must study to meet this goal and be eligible for financial aid? Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Alisa must work at least 15 hours per week.
She want to spend at least 5 more hours studying than working each week.
She therefore wants to study at least 20 hours per week.
Since there are 5 days in the week, she needs to study at least 20/5 = 4 hours per day.
She needs to work at least 15/5 = 3 hours per day.
That's a total of at least 7 hours per day that she will either be working or studying.
