Question

Evan worked 9 hours and

made $85.50. Henry worked 6 hours and made $57.00. Are
these two rates proportional?

Answer 1

Yes. Set up a ratio:
6/9 = 57/85.5
(6*85.5)/9=57, so it’s true.

Answer 2

yes both of them make 9.5 the hour I know this because 85.50 divided by 9 is 9.5 9 times 9 is 81 and .5 times 9 is 4.5 so 81+4.5=85.5 and then 57 divided by 6 is 9.5 as well you can do 6 times 9 and you get 54 and then 6 times 0.5 is 3 and 54+3=57
