Question

Dale made $132 for 11 hours of work.

At the same rate how many hours would he have to work to make $216

Answer 1

18 hours

Explanation:

Divide the total amount by the hours worked to find the dollars per hour rate. Next, take the amount of money you're looking for hours for and divide it by the dollars per hour rate and the quotient is the hours necessary to work to earn the money

Answer 2

18 hours

Explanation:

We can use a ratio to solve

132 dollars 216 dollars

---------------- = ------------------

11 hours x hours

Using cross products

132 x = 216 *11

132x=2376

Divide by 132

132x/132 = 2376/132

x = 18
