Question

Naomi has earned $81 mowing lawns the past two days. She worked 2 1/2 hours yesterday and 4 1/4 hours today. If Naomi is paid the same amount for every hour she works, how much does she earn per hour to mow lawns?

Answer 1

Twelve dollars per hour

Explanation:

Add 2 1/2 and 4 1/4 together to get 6 3/4. Put it into decimal form (6.75), and divide. 81 ÷ 6.75 = 12.
