Answer 1

He earned $180

Explanation:

Alex gets paid $6.00 per hour In june: He worked 11 hours

1 hour = $6.00

11 hours = 6×11 = 66

So in june he gets paid $66

In july he works 19 hours

1 hour = $6.00

19 hours = 6×19 = 114

In July he gets paid $114

so in all Alex gets paid June+July

In all Alex gets paid 114+66= 180

So Alex gets paid $180

Hope this helps :)

In July, he earned 19 * $6.00 = $114.00 mowing lawns.
