Question

URGENT!!! Connor earns $24 working every 1.5 hours. Complete the table using equivalent ratios.

HOURS DOLLARS

1.5 / 24

8 / ?

12 / ?

Answer 1

First find the rate, so dollars/1 hour

To do this, divide both sides by 1.5 so u get the Pay of one hour because 1.5/1.5 is one and the result is 16/1 hour, now multiply 16 by the hour so 16(8) then 16(12) and so on, you can do it well! I don’t have a calculator lol

Answer 2

a)

`\displaystyle(8)/(128)`

b)

`\displaystyle(12)/(192)`

Explanation:

We are given the following information in the question.

Connor earns $24 working every 1.5 hours.

Thus, we can write the ration for hours to dollars earned as:

`\text{Ratio} = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Hours}}{\text{Dollars earned}}\\\\= (1.5)/(24) = (1)/(16)`

We have to find the equivalent ratios.

a) Hours = 8. Let x be the dollars earned.

`\displaystyle(1)/(16) = (8)/(x)\\x = 8* 16\\x = 128`

Thus, she earned $128 in 8 hours.

b) Hours = 12. Let x be the dollars earned.

`\displaystyle(1)/(16) = (12)/(x)\\x = 12* 16\\x = 192`

Thus, she earned $192 in 12 hours.
