Question

Chang made $288 for 18 hours of work. At the same rate, how kuch would he make for 8 hours of work?

Answer 1

128

Explanation:

First, divide $288 by 18 hours of work (288 ÷ 18 = 16)

Then multiply $16 by 8 hours of work (16 x 8 = 128)

Answer 2

$128

Explanation:

288/18 = x/8

Cross multiply.

18x = 288 × 8

18x = 2304

x = 2304/18

x = 128

Chang would make $128 for 8 hours of work.
