5. When do you fill in the sign-in sheet?

Explanation

The correct answer is "When you come to the library during class-time on a library pass." This is because the sign-in sheet is used to keep track of students who are visiting the library during class-time. When students have a library pass from their teacher, they are allowed to go to the library during class and therefore need to fill in the sign-in sheet.

Submit

This involves calculations such as multiplying the number of hours worked by the hourly wage to determine the total wages owed to each employee. Additionally, mathematical concepts like percentages and taxes are used to calculate deductions and net pay.
