Answer:

If Kareem were to work for 5 hours, she would get paid $45.

Explanation:

If she gets paid $72 for working 8 hours, you would need to find how much she gets paid per hour by doing
72/8.

Which then gives you $9 per hour, so then all you need to do is multiply $9 by the number of hours which in this case is 5 to get the answer of $45.
