Answer:

$157.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that Rob babysits the kids next door everyday after school for 1.5 hours. He earns $3.50 an hour.

First of all we will find the amount that Rob earns for each day of babysitting by multiplying 1.5 by 3.50.


\text{Rob earns for each day of babysitting}=1.5*3.5=5.25

Let us find number of days Rob will babysit in 6 weeks by multiplying 6 by 5 as school will be in session 5 days a week the whole time.


\text{Rob will babysit for days}=6*5=30

Now let us find amount of money that Rob will get for babysitting for 30 days by multiplying 30 by 5.25.


\text{Amount that Rob will earn in 6 weeks}=30* 5.25


\text{Amount that Rob will earn in 6 weeks}=157.5

Therefore, Rob will earn an amount of $157.5 for 6 weeks of babysitting.
