Question

Alfred does chores to earn money in the summer. The table

shows the amount he earns per chore. Alfred weeded the
garden 6 times over the summer. Write and solve a division
equation to find how much he earned weeding the garden.

Answer 1

$1.33 earned weeding the garden.

Explanation:

To start with let us add the missing table information as shown below:

CHORE | AMOUNT EARNED

Mow Lawn | $10

Wash Car | $5

Weed Garden | $8

Let us now solve our problem.

The table above gives us the TOTAL earned by Alfred for each chore done over the same. Now we are told that he weeded the garden 6 times over the summer.

Therefore to find the how much he earned weeding the garden, we have to divide the total Amount Earned over the Number of times he did the chore. Thus we have:

`(Amount Earned)/(Chore Number)=(8 dollars)/(6 times)` ≈
`1.33`

Thus Alfred earned $1.33 dollars for each time he weeded the garden over the summer.
