Question

PLEASE HELP ME PLEASE!

Answer 1

1 hour = 50/4= $12.5

4 hours = $50

`5(1)/(2)` can be written as 11/2 or 5.5

Let's take x to be the salary for working 5.5 hours.

4 50

5.5 x

Using cross-multiplication, you will get the equation:

4x = 275

x = 68.75

THEREFORE, HE EARNS $68.75 IN
`5(1)/(2)` hours.
