Question

Imena earned $261 last week. If she worked 18 hours and earned the same amount each hour, how much was she paid per hour?

As a unit rate

Answer 1

261 divided by the hours 18 = $14.50
Check answer 14.50• 18= 261

Answer 2

`\Huge \boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\textbf{\$14.50/hr}}}}`

Explanation:

We can divide her total earnings by the number of hours she worked:

`\large \boxed{\boxed{\tt{Unit\ Rate = (Total\ Earnings)/(Number\ of\ Hours)}}}`

• 
  `\boxed{\tt{Unit\ Rate = (\$261)/(18\ hours)}}`

• 
  `\boxed{\texttt{Unit Rate = \$14.50 per hour}}`

So, Imena was paid $14.50 per hour.
