Answers to Bedard Family Lesson Questions:

4. Why was the Boarding Room hot?

Answer:
Hot steam was used in the Boarding Room to shape the socks and remove wrinkles.

5. If Mr. Bedard is paid 17 cents an hour, what would he make in a week?

Answer:
Mr. Bedard had to work 10 hours per day, six days a week.
He made $1.70 each day (0.17 X 10 hours = $1.70).
Because he worked six days a week, Mr. Bedard made $10.20 each week ($1.70 each day X 6 days = $10.20).
