i'm trying to figure it out

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: Crystal will earn $11.81.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Cost per hour mowing lawns = $5.25

Let the number of hours be 'h'.

Let the amount of money be 'm'

So, According to question, we get

`m=5.25* h\\\\m=5.25h`

Here h = 2 hours and 15 minutes

So,

`h=2(15)/(60)\\\\h=2(1)/(4)\\\\h=(9)/(4)`

So, Crystal will earn if she works for 2 hours and 15 minutes will be

`m=5.25* (9)/(4)\\\\m=(47.25)/(4)\\\\m=\$11.81`

Hence, Crystal will earn $11.81.
