The employer charges $22 for 2 hours, resulting in a unit rate of $11 per hour. Therefore, she charges $55 for 5 hours, calculated by multiplying the unit rate by the number of hours.

To determine how much the employer charges for 5 hours, you can set up a ratio with the payment and hours:


\text{Payment} &\ \ \ \ \ \text{Hours} \\$22 & \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 2 \\\text{?} & \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 5 \\

Now, find the unit rate (rate per hour) by dividing the payment by the hours for the known situation:


\[\text{Unit Rate} = \frac{\$22}{2 \text{ hours}} = \$11/\text{hour}\]

Now, use the unit rate to find the payment for 5 hours:


\[\text{Payment for 5 hours} = \text{Unit Rate} * \text{Number of Hours} = \$11/\text{hour} * 5 \text{ hours} = \$55\]

Therefore, the employer charges $55 for 5 hours.

The complete question is:

An employer pays $22 for 2 hours. Use the ratio table to determine how much she charges for 5 hours.
