Answer 2

Pay rates are not equal

My pay rate per hour = $7

My friends pay rate per hour = $9

Explanation:

Given:

I earn $ 56 for 8 hours work

My friend Earn $36 for 4 hours work

To find:

Pay rates same or not

Solution:

As it is given in the question that i earn $56 for 8 hour work

So for one hour I earn =
`(56)/(8)`

= $ 7

so my pay rate per hour is = $7

So for one hour my friend earn =
`(36)/(4)`

= $ 9

so my pay rate per hour is = $9

So it could be visible that as my pay rate per hour is $7 and my friends pay rate per hour is $9 so I the pay rates are not equivalent
