Answer:

The babysitter earns $66 babysitting for 9 hours a day.

Explanation:

1. First, you need to find the amount of money they make babysitting for 3 hours, since 9 and 6 are divisible by 3.

2. Then you divide $44 by 2, to find that they make $22 babysitting for 3 hours.

3. Then you multiply $22 by 3 to get your answer of $66.
