Question

Daniel worked for 2 1/3 hours and earned $18.20. How much would he make if he worked for 5 1/4 hours? Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

2 1/3hrs→ $18.20
1 hr→ $7.80
5 1/4hrs→ $7.80x5 1/4= $40.95

Answer 2

Daniel would make $40.95.

Explanation:

We are given that,

The amount of money earned by Daniel after working for
`2(1)/(3)=(7)/(3)` hours = $18.20

Then, the amount of money earned by Daniel after working for
`5(1)/(4)=(21)/(4)` hour is,

`Amount=(18.20)/((7)/(3))* (21)/(4)\\\\Amount=(18.20* 3)/(7)* (21)/(4)\\\\Amount=(54.6)/(7)* (21)/(4)\\\\Amount= 7.8* 5.25\\\\Amount= \$ 40.95`

Hence, Daniel would make $40.95.
