Question

Mai made $216 for 18 hours of work.

At the same rate, how many hours would she have to work to make $96?

Answer 1

First you do 216 divided by 18 which is 12.

Now we know she makes 12 dollars an hour.

Next you divide 96 by 12 because that's how much Mai makes in an hour. 96 divided by 12 is 8 so she would have to 8 hours in order to make 96 dollars.

8 hours

Explanation:

216 ÷ 18 =12 that means Mai gets paid $12 an hour so take the $96 and ÷ by 12 and you get 8 hours
