Question

Gino gets paid $640 for 20 hours to plow snow in the winter. At this rate, how much will Gino get paid if he has to plow for 40 hours?

Question 4 options:

$3,200

$1,600

$1,326

$1,280

Answer 1

1.280$

because 20hrs=640 so If it's 40hrs it will add additional 640

Answer 2

Explanation:

We can use proportionality to find out how much Gino will get paid if he has to plow for 40 hours. Since we know that he gets paid $640 for 20 hours of work, we can set up a proportion to find out how much he will get paid for 40 hours of work.

The proportion can be written as:

Payment for 20 hours / 20 hours = Payment for 40 hours / 40 hours

We can simplify this proportion to:

Payment for 20 hours / 20 = Payment for 40 hours / 40

Substituting the given values, we get:

640 / 20 = Payment for 40 hours / 40

Simplifying this equation, we get:

32 = Payment for 40 hours / 40

Multiplying both sides by 40, we get:

Payment for 40 hours = 32 * 40

Payment for 40 hours = 1280

Therefore, Gino will get paid $1,280 if he has to plow for 40 hours. Hence, the correct answer is (D) $1,280.
