Question

5. Erica babysits for 4 hours and is paid $27. What is the unit rate? How much money would she make if she worked 6 hours?

Answer 1

$40.50 would she make if she worked 6 hours.

Explanation:

Given:

Erica babysits for 4 hours and is paid $27.

Now, to find the money she make if she worked 6 hours.

So, in 4 hours she is paid = $27.

Thus, in 1 hour she is paid =
`27/ 4=\$6.75`

Therefore, the unit rate is $6.75 per hour.

Now, to find the money Erica get if she worked 6 hours:

`\$6.75* 6\ hour`

`=\$40.50`

Therefore, $40.50 would she make if she worked 6 hours.
