Question

Every week, Hector works 20 hours and earns $210.00. He earns a constant amount of money per hour.

Part A
Write an equation that can be used to determine the number of hours, h, Hector works given the number of weeks, W.
Enter your equation in the space provided

Part B
Write an equation that can be used to determine Hector's earnings, in dollars, m, for h hours of work.
Enter your equation in the space provided.

Answer 1

A). h = 20 w

B). m = 10.5h

Explanation:

Part (A).

Let the total number of hours Hector worked = h

And total number of weeks worked by Hector = w

Therefore, number of hours Hector worked in a week =
`(h)/(w)`

Since, total number of hours worked in a week = 20

Equation will be,

20 =
`(h)/(w)`

h = 20w

Part (B).

Per hour earning of Hector =
`\frac{\text{Total earning}}{\text{Number of hours worked}}=(210)/(20)`

`(m)/(h)=10.5`

m = 10.5h
