Question

emma earns $12.50 an hour at her summer job. Let w represent the wages emma earns and t represent time in hours. what equation represents the amount she earns to the number of hours she worked

Answer 1

The equation that represents the amount Emma earns (w) to the number of hours she worked (t) is:

w = 12.50t

This equation shows that Emma's earnings (w) are directly proportional to the number of hours she worked (t), with a proportionality constant of $12.50 per hour. If Emma works more hours, her earnings will increase proportionally, and if she works fewer hours, her earnings will decrease proportionally.
