Question

Christine made $128 for 8 hours of work. At the same rate, how many hours would she have to work to make $176 ?

A) 10 hours
B) 11 hours
C) 11.5 hours
D) 12 hours

Answer 1

Christine earns $16 per hour, therefore to make $176, she would need to work for 11 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Christine made $128 for 8 hours of work, which amounts to $16 per hour ($128 ÷ 8 hours). To find out how many hours she would need to work to make $176 at the same rate, we divide the total amount she wants to earn by her hourly rate:

$176 ÷ $16 per hour = 11 hours

Therefore, Christine would have to work for 11 hours to make $176.
