Question

Norma and Albert both clean pools. Each charges a flat fee to clean a pool. Norma cleans 12 pools in 8 hours and earns $270. Albert cleans 9 pools in 7.5 hours and earns $195.75. 1.) Identify and describe the ratio that compares the number of pools Norma cleans per hour to the number of pools Albert cleans per hour. *

Answer 1

1.5 per hour : 1.2 per hour

Explanation:

The computation of the ratio is shown below:

For norma, the one pool would be

= 12 pools ÷ 8 hours

= 1.5 per hour

And for albert, the one pool would be

= 9 pools ÷ 7.5 hours

= 1.2 per hour

So the ratio between them is

1.5 per hour : 1.2 per hour
