Question

Lily earn for $54 mowing lawns in two days she worked 2.5 hours yesterday and 4.25 hours today if Naomi was paid the same amount for every hour she works how much did she earn per hour

Answer 1

$8 per hour

Explanation:

Total amount earned by Lily in two days = $54

Number of hours worked on day 1 = 2.5

Number of hours worked on day 2 = 4.25

Total number of hours worked in two days = 2.5 + 4.25 = 6.75

Let the amount earned by Lily per hour = x

Then
`\[6.75 x = 54\]`

=>
`\[x = (54)/(6.75)\]`

=>
`\[x = 8\]`

Hence the amount earned by Lily or Naomi per hour is $8.
