Question

Kala made $252 for 18 hours of work. At the same rate, how much would he make for 12 hours of work?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Using proportion

If 18hrs=$252

then let 12hrs be=x

If less more divide ×(amount given)

18=more

12=less

x=12/18×$252

reduce 12&18 by dividing both using 6

x=2/3×$252

divide 3 and $252 using 3

2/1×$252

x=$168

for 12hrs the individual will make $168

Answer 2

$168

Explanation:

To find out how much Kala would make for 12 hours of work, we can use proportionality. We can set up a ratio of the amount of money he made to the number of hours he worked:

$252 / 18 = x / 12$

where x is the amount of money he would make for 12 hours of work.

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and simplify:

$252 * 12 = 18 * x$

$3024 = 18x$

$x = 3024 / 18 = 168$

Therefore, Kala would make $168 for 12 hours of work at the same rate.
