Question

Jerry walked a dog from 6:40am to 7:30am one day, Paid at the rate of $6 per hr, how much did he earn that day?

Answer 1

5 $

Explanation:

.Time of walking the dog= 50 min

.Paid per hour= 6$

.1 hr= 60 min

.We're going to calculate how much he is paid in minutes

.So, minutes divided by the earning to see how much money he get paid every amount of minutes

.60 min ÷ 6= 10 (that means after each 10 minutes he get paid)

. So, he gets a dollar after each 10 minutes

.So, 50 min ÷ 10 min = 5$

That's the way I calculated with, I hope you understand my complicating way lol :)

Answer 2

5 dollars

Explanation:

6:40 to 7:30am would be a total of 50 minutes

there are 60 minutes in one hour, and he walked for 5/6 of an hour (50minutes/60minutes). This means that he would make 5/6th of his 6 dollar rate, which is 5 dollars.
