Given data:

The amount Rosa earned per hour is 12.25$.

Multiply the above expression by 19 1/2 on both sides.

`\begin{gathered} 19(1)/(2)(1\text{ hour)=19}(1)/(2)(12.25) \\ 19(1)/(2)\text{ hours =19.5(12.25)} \\ =238.875 \\ =238.87 \end{gathered}`

Thus, the amount earned by Rosa in 19 1/2 hours is $238.87.
