Question

Caroline works in Shelley’s store. She earns $36 for a 4-hour shift. If she works for 7 hours, how much can Caroline expect to earn?

Answer 1

Explanation:

expect to earn $63

she earns $36 for a 4-hour shift

per shift she makes $9

she works 7 hours

Caroline earns from work = Caroline earns for one hour shift × Number of hour

9 x 7 = $63

Answer 2

$63

Explanation:

First, you have to divide 36÷4. (In this case $36 is what Caroline earns and 4 is the amount of hours she works). The result of this division is 9. She earns $9 per hour.

The next step is to multiply the 9 dollars she earns per hour for the 7 hours she would work.

9×7=63

As a result, if she worked 7 hours, she would earn $63.
