Question

Briana is excited because she has just been hired by a family to babysit on Saturdays. She’s looking forward to earning some extra spending money! The family will pay her $12 per hour for a maximum of 8 hours. Brianna makes a table to show her earnings for different numbers of hours. Help her complete the table. Hours Earnings 5 $ $72 7 $ $96

Answer 1

Hours: Earnings:

5 $60

6 $72

7 $ 84

8 $96

Explanation:

Because Brianna earns $12 per hour, find her earnings by multiplying the number of hours worked by 12:

• When she works 5 hours, she earns 5(12) = $60.

• When she works 7 hours, she earns 7(12) = $84.

To find the number hours she worked, given her earnings, divide her total earnings by 12:

• If she earns $72, she worked 72/12 = 6 hours.

• If she earns $96, she worked 96/12 = 8 hours.

Answer 2

The hours are 5, 6,7, and 8.

The earnings are 60 for 5, 72 for 6, 84 for 7, and 96 for 8

Explanation:

She earns 12 dollars a hour. So if you just multiply 12 times 5 and so on you get the answer for earnings and the hours.
