Answer 1

17 hours

Explanation:

Tom made $171 for 9 hours of work. At the same rate, how many hours would he have to work to make 323 ?

• we can solve with an equation

171 : 9 = 323 : x

x = 9 * 323 : 171

x = 2907 : 171

x = 17

-------------------------

check

171 : 9 = 323 : 17

19 = 19

• the answer is good

Answer 2

Your answer would be 17 because 171 divided by 9 is 19, so 323 divided by 19 would be 17.
