Mr. Browne works for $6.00 per hour. His wife works for $8.00 per hour. One week they each earned the same pay. If they get paid for full hours only, what is the least amount of hours worked by each? Give two other possible ways that they could both earn the same pay.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: Browne works 4 hours and gets 24$. Wife works 3 hours and gets 24$. That's the least amount of hours for them to earn the same pay. Some other ways: Browne - 8 h and 48$, Wife - 6 h and 48$. Their hours just should be 4:3
