Wait, can they really work 18 hours a week? Seems a bit much.

I’m confused about the difference between school days and non-school days. Does that affect the total hours allowed?

I practiced a similar question where we had to identify violations of child labor laws, and I think it was about the total hours in a week.

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like option D might be the one that exceeds the allowed hours for a 15-year-old.

Haha, this is a tricky one. Maybe we should just put them to work 24/7 and see what happens! Just kidding, of course. Option B is the way to go.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Option D seems a bit high, 18 hours per school week seems like a lot for a 15-year-old.

Option B is clearly the correct answer. The FLSA limits 15-year-olds to 4 hours of work per school day, not 8 hours.
