Question

Marcus earned $230 for 40 hours of work. Phillip earned $192 for 32 hours of work. Are these pay rates proportional? Explain.

Answer 1

These pay rates are not proportional

Explanation:

Dividing 230 by 40 gave 5.75, so Marcus earns $5.75 per hour he works

However, dividing 192 by 32 gives 6, which shows that Phillip earns $6 per hour and $0.25 more than Marcus

Answer 2

No.

Explanation:

Find ROC for Marcus and Phillip

Marcus

230/40 = $5.75 per hour

Phillip

192/32 = $6 per hour

$6 > $5.75
