Question

Rida and Elisa are each paid by the hour. Rida worked 5 1/2 hours and earned 77. Elisa worked 3 3/4 hours and earned 60. Whose hourly rate is greater?

Answer 1

Explanation:

we find out by checking how much they got for 1 hour.

so, 77 earned in 5 1/2 hours. how much in only 1 hour ?

77 / (5 1/2) = 77 / 11/2 = 77 × 2/11 = 7×2 = 14

and 60 earned in 3 3/4 hours. how much in 1 hour ?

60 / (3 3/4) = 60 / 15/4 = 60 × 4/15 = 4×4 = 16

so Elisa's hourly rate is greater.

Answer 2

The answer is Elisa's Hourly rate

Explanation:

Rida and Elisa are each paid by the hour.

Rida worked 5 1/2 hours and earned 77.

5 1/2 = 11/2 = 5.5 Hours

Rida earned 77 in 5.5 hours

Elisa worked 3 3/4 hours and earned 60.

3 3/4 = 15/4 = 3.75 Hours

Elisa earned 60 in 3.75 hours

Elisa earns more than in less time as compared to Rida

so Elisa's hourly rate is greater than Rida

Thus, The answer is Elisa's Hourly rate
