Question

Naomi has earned $54 mowing lawns the past two days. She worked 2 1/2 hours yesterday and 4 1/4 hours today. If Naomi is paid the same amount for every hour she works, how much does she earn per hour to mow lawns. Explain for me.

Answer 1

`To \ find\ this\ rate\ you\ should\ divide\ her\ total\ salary\ by\\\\ total \ amount\ of\ working\ hours\\\\ total \ salary= 54\$\\\\ total\ amount\ of\ hours=2,5h+4,25h=6,75h\\\\ rate=(54\$)/(6,75h)=8\$\ per\ hour\\\\ She \ earns \ 8 \$ \ per\ hour.`
