Question

Drew painted his uncle's barn on Saturday. It took him 4 hours to paint the whole barn, and his uncle paid him 60 dollars for his work. What was Drew's pay rate, in dollars per hour?

Answer 1

$15/h

Explanation:

"dollars per hour" means "dollars divided by hours". To find it, divide the number of dollars by the number of hours.

($60)/(4 h) = (60/4) $/h = $15/h
