Answer: Raina would make $208 for 13 hours of work at the same rate.

Explanation:

let "x" be the amount she would make for 13 hours of work. Then, you can set up the proportion:

(144 dollars / 9 hours) = (x dollars / 13 hours)

Now, cross-multiply and solve for x:

144 * 13 = 9 * x

x = (144 * 13) / 9

x = 1872 / 9

x = 208
