Each summer, Gina picks blueberries at a local berry farm. She can pick 5 1/4 pounds of blueberries each 1/3 hour. Gina is paid $0.75 per pound of berries that she picks. How much does Gina make per hour?

$21.00 per hour
$11.81 per hour
$1.31 per hour
$15.75 per hour

Answer 1

Berries per ⅓ hour = 5¼ pounds =21/4

Per pound = $0.75

Berries to be picked in one hour = 21/4 × 3 = 15¾ pounds

Total money made in 1 hr= 15¾ × 0.75 = $11.81

Answer 2

11.81

Explanation:

5 1/4 per 20 min (1/3 of an hour)

5.25 (5 1/4) * 3 = 15.75 pounds per hour

$0.75 earned per pound

So, 15.75 * $0.75 = $11.81
