Q. Select the information that is not needed to solve the problem. Then solve the problem.\newlineAnja has worked at her job for 612 6 \frac{1}{2} years. Each year she works 4848 weeks, and each week she works 3912 39 \frac{1}{2} hours.\newlineHow many hours does Anja work each year?\newlineWhich information is not needed to solve the problem?\newline(A)The number of years Anja has worked.\newline(B)The number of hours she works each week.\newline(C)The number of weeks Anja works each year.\newlineAnja works \square hours each year.
  1. Identify unnecessary information: Identify unnecessary information for solving the problem.\newlineTo find out how many hours Anja works each year, we need to know the number of weeks she works per year and the number of hours she works each week. The number of years Anja has worked is not necessary to calculate the annual hours.
  2. Calculate total hours: Calculate the total hours Anja works each year.\newlineMultiply the number of weeks Anja works each year by the number of hours she works each week.\newlineCalculation: 48 weeks/year×39.5 hours/week=1896 hours/year.48 \text{ weeks/year} \times 39.5 \text{ hours/week} = 1896 \text{ hours/year}.
