Question

Ed earns about $8 per hour helping out neighbors. Write an equation to show how many hours she needs to work and earn $86.

Answer 1

86=8x and x is 10 hours and 45 mins which is number of hours/mins she has worked.

86➗8=10.75

10.75 = 10 3/4 in fraction form

And 3/4 of 60 is 45 so

therefore x= 10 hours and 45 min, 645 min, or 38700 seconds.

Answer 2

86= 8X. X is the number of hours she needs to work
