Question

Conor earns $9 an hour for yard work.He earned $29.25.How many hours did he rake leaves

Answer 1

29.25 divided by 9 is 3.25. You have to take the total amount of money he made $29.25 and divide it by the amount he gets every hour $9. So 29.25 divided by 9 is 3.25 or 3 hours and 15 minutes.

Answer 2

The correct answer is 3 hours and 25 minutes.

Explanation:

First we must analyze the information we have:

We know that for 1 hour of yard work, Conor earns $ 9

Now what we want to know is how many hours he will have worked if he earned a total of $ 29.25.

And one of the ways we can find out would be with a cross-multiplication:

1 hour ----- 9

x hours ---- 29.25

Then we multiply crosswise:

1 . 29,25 = 9.x

29,25 / 9 = x

3,25 = x

Therefore, the correct answer is 3,25.
