Question

the amount of money earned on a job is directly proportional to the number of hours worked. If $70.00 is earned in 5 hours, how much money is earned in a week working 48 hours of work?

Answer 1

The amount of money earned is directly proportional to the number of hours earned, this means that you earn the same amount of money each hour and as time passes, the total earnings increase a determined amount for each working hour increase

You know that after 5 hours of work you earn $70.00, to determine the wages after working 48 hours you can use cross multiplication

`\begin{gathered} (70.00)/(5)=(x)/(48) \\ x=48((70.00)/(5)) \\ x=672 \end{gathered}`

After 48hours of work, you will earn $672
