Question

Write the rate as a unit rate.$1,520 earned in 8 weeks

Answer 1

From the statement, we know that we earned $1,520 in 8 weeks.

The ratio of money earned per week is given by the quotient between the amount of money earned and the time:

`rate=\frac{\text{ammount of money}}{\text{time}}=\frac{\text{ \$1,520}}{8\text{ weeks}}=\frac{\text{ \$}190}{\text{week}}\text{.}`

Answer

The rate of money earned is $190 per week.
