earns $17.92 weeding gardens for 3.2 hours.
She is paid the same hourly rate to mow lawns.
Hillary mows lawns for 2.875 hours. How much
does Hillary earn mowing lawns?

Answer 1

Answer: $16.10
Explanation: In order to find out how much Hillary makes in one hour, we must divide what was earned ($17.92) by how long Hillary worked (3.2 hours). This equals 5.6 or $5.60. Now that we know how much Hillary makes in one hour, we can multiply that by how many hours Hillary worked (2.875 hours). This equals 16.1 or $16.10
