Question

Bill made $204 for 12 hours of work. At the same rate, how much would he make for 18 hours of work?

Answer 1

Bill $306 in 18 hours.

Explanation:

First we want to figure out the unit rate, or how much he makes in 1 hour.

So we do 204 ÷ 12. Which equals 17. So that means bill makes $17 every hour.

If we are trying to figure out how much he makes in 18 hours, we just need to do 18 * 17, which equals 306.
