If Connor were to earn 3 dollars after every 1.5 hours, the first thing you should do is to convert this into a unit rate, or try to find how many dollars Connor earns per hour. To find this, divide 3 by 1.5. This will get you to your unit rate which is 2 dollars per hour. Now that you know this, you must find how much money Connor makes after 3 hours, and how much he makes after 6 hours. To find how much he makes after 3 hours, multiply 2 by 3 which will be 6 dollars after 3 hours. To find how much Connor makes after 6 hours, multiply 2 and 6 which will be 12 dollars after 6 hours. Therefore, your answers are 6 dollars after 3 hours and 12 dollars after 6 hours.
