Question

Elsa made $112 for seven hours of work at the same rate. How many hours would she have to work to make $176

Answer 1

11 hours

Explanation:

Since Elsa made $112 for seven hours of work at the same rate, we can determine how many hours (x) she would have to work to make $176 using proportions:

$112 / 7 hours = $176 / x hours

112/7 = 176/x

(16 = 176/x) * x

(16x = 176) / 16

x = 11

Thus, Elsa would need to work for 11 hours to make $176.
