Linda made $238 for 17 hours of work.

At the same rate, how many hours would she have to work to make $168?

for every hour of work that Linda does, she earns $14.
Therefore if she works for 12 hours, she will earn $168.

you can solve this by doing 238 divided by 17 which equals 14
and then do 168 divided by 14 which is 12.

238/17= 14 dollars per hr
168/14= 12 hrs
Final answer: 12 hrs
