Hello there, fellow human being!

The answer is plan simple, 7 hours.
7 times 20 gives you 140.


So, the answer is 7 hours.

Hope this helped!

You can make this into an equation, i.e. how many lots of 20 make 140

140 = 20 * x
Where x is the number of hours which we don't know
To get just X, we can divide both sides by 20
i.e.

20 * x / 20 = 140 / 20
20/20 is 1, so:

1 * x = 7
Therefore X is 7, and so John must work 7 hours to make $140.
