Question

Jerry walked a dog from 6:40 am to 7:30am . If he was paid $6 per hour how much did he earn

Answer 1

Amount Jerry earned is $5

Explanation:

Jerry is paid $6 per hour.

First we need to find the number of hours he walked the dog.

From 6.40 am to 7.30 am we have 50 minutes. Jerry walked the dog for 50 minutes.

An hour has 60 minutes.

We need to find how much Jerry gets paid for a minute.

Amount paid for a minute =
`($6)/(60)`

=$
`0.1`

Therefore,

Amount paid for 50 minutes = $
`0.1` *
`50` minutes

=$
`5`
