Answer 1

$ 500 ~40 horus

$ 2000 ~160hours

$ 2500 ~200hours

Explanation:

Assume that the rate of earnings is constant, then one can manipulate the first ratio to get to the succeeding ratios. A ratio is a way of expressing one value compared to another when the two values have different units. In this case, the ratio is: (hours : earnings)

hours : earnings

4 : 50

First, one is asked to find how much is earned in (40) hours, since the rate is constant, all one has to do is multiply the hours by (10) to get to (40),

40 : 500

Next, one is asked to find how much is earned in (160) hours, now multiply the previous rate by (4), to get to 160,

160: 2000

Finally, one is asked to find out how much is earned in (200) hours, multiply the rate which gives one how much is earned in (40) hours by (5),

200 : 2500

Answer 2

4 hours is $50, 40 hours is $500, 160 hours is $2000, 200 hours is $2500.

i’m pretty sure this is right because she makes $12.5 an hour.
