Worksheet for calculating wages by multiplying hours worked by hourly rate.

Let's solve the problem step by step.

---

Objective:

Compute the wages for each problem using the formula:

> Wages = Hours Worked × Rate

We'll go through each problem and calculate the total wages. We’ll also show how to multiply decimals properly, just like in the example.

---

Example Recap:

- Hours: 13
- Rate: $5.49
- Calculation:
```
$5.49
× 13
------
1647 ← (5.49 × 3)
+549 ← (5.49 × 10, shifted one place left)
------
71.37
```
- Answer: $71.37

Now let’s compute all the problems.

📌 Explanation of Method:

To compute wages:
1. Multiply the number of hours worked by the hourly rate.
2. Use standard multiplication rules for decimals:
- Ignore decimals first, multiply as whole numbers.
- Count decimal places in both numbers.
- Place the decimal point in the product so that it has the same number of decimal places.

For example:
15 × $4.15:
- 15 × 415 = 6225
- Two decimal places in $4.15 → So answer is $62.25
