Sarah is correct because if Ursula is earning $9 per hour then every hour you can add 9. Lets say h=2 then you would multiply 9*2 to get how much she spent. Josh is incorrect because dividing would subtract the amount of money every our.

Hope this Helps

The important information's already given in the question can be used to find the correct answer.
In 1 hour Ursula earns = 9 dollars
So
In h hours Ursula earns = (9/1) * h dollars
= 9 * h hours
= 9h hours
So we have found from the above discussion that Sarah wrote the correct answer and it was 9h. I hope you are satisfi3ed with the answer and the explanation that I have provided. You can use this procedure for solving similar problems.
