Answer 1

Gretchen will earn $48 from mowing in 4 hours

Data

Amount earned on each lawn = $12

Number of hours mowing = 4 hours

Explanation:

This is the measure of one unit against another unit. An example of this is speed which is the rate of distance covered to time.

In this case, she mows 1 lawn in each hour and earns $12 on each.

To calculate for 4 hours

She earns $48 from mowing 4 lawns

Answer 2

12 lawns - $144

Explanation:

Well 3 lawns(L) = 1 hour(H)

So then 3(L)*4(H)

Now we have a total of 12 lawns.

12(L)*$12 = $144
