Question

Melanie babysits for $14 per hour.

If she earned $91 last week,
how many hours did she work?
Define the variable. Write and
solve the equation.

Answer 1

Equation is 14h = 91

It solves to h = 6.5

===========================================

Work Shown:

h = number of hours worked

14h = amount earned at $14 per hour

14h = 91 is the equation

To solve this equation, divide both sides by 14.

14h = 91

14h/14 = 91/14

h = 6.5

She worked 6.5 hours last week.
