Question

Lillian earned $397.50 at her job when she worked for 25 hours. What was her hourly wage, in dollars per hour? On the double number line below, fill in the given values, then use multiplication or division to find the missing value.

Answer 1

$15.9

Explanation:

$397.5 = 25 hour

=> x dollars = 1 hour

=> 397.5 * 1 = 25 * x

=> 397.5 = 25x

=> 397.5/25 = 25x/25

=> 15.9 = x

So, for 1 hour he earns $15.9
