Question

Mara earned $25 for two hours of babysitting. How much can she expect to earn for 5 hours of babysitting? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

hello,

we already know that for 2 hours of babysitting, Mara earned $25.

to find how much she'd make for 5 hours of babysitting:

divide 25 by 2 which gets us 12.50.

if mara were to babysit for 5 hours, she'd make $62.50.

I hope this was helpful =]
