Answer 1

The person is paid $5.50 per hour and receives a $0.25 increase every 6 months. This means that every 6 months, their wage increases by $0.25.

To determine the sequence of hourly wages, we can start with the current wage of $5.50 and then add $0.25 every 6 months.

The correct answer is:

B. 5.50, 5.75, 6.00, 6.25, 6.50...

This sequence represents the person's hourly wages starting with their current wage of $5.50 and increasing by $0.25 every 6 months.
