Answer:

31 hours

Explanation:

To at least buy the Air-Pods she will need to work at least 31 hours. You can either round at the beginning or end, I'll demonstrate rounding at the end. Divide $278.10 by $9.00, getting 30.9. You would have to round up to insure you have enough money, getting 31 hours
