Question

Maya is interning at a law firm over the summer and is paid by the hour. Her hourly wage is $52. Write two equations represent the proportional relationship between the wages she earns (w) and the number of hours (h).

Answer 1

The two equations are;

w = 52 h

and h = w/52

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that she earns $52 in an hour

So therefore ,

W(h)= 52h

where h is the number of hours she has worked and w is the wages earned for the number of hours worked

The two equations are;

w = 52h

or w/h = 52
