Question

Kevin made $342 for 18 hours of work. At the same rate, how many hours would he have to work to make $247?

Answer 1

13

Explanation:

First, you need to find out how much money he is making per hour. To do that, we need to do $342 divided by 18 hours. This gives us 19. We now know that Kevin is making $19 an hour. Next, do $247 divided by $19. This gives us 13. He would need to work 13 hours to make $247.

Answer 2

13 hours

Explanation:

First you have to find the hourly rate at which money is being earned. To do so you divided the money earn ($342) by how many hours it took to earn (18 hours).

Once you do that you're given $19.00 per hour.

Now take the money earned with the unknown time ($247) and divide it by money being made per hour ($19) and you're given 13 hours
