3. Marco makes $24 for 6 hours of chores and Olivia makes $36 for 8 hours of chores. Are they getting the same rate of pay? Explain your reasoning.​

Answer 1

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

Given the questions:

1.)

Medina schools :

Number of students = 350

Number who ride to school = 28

Rate = 28 / 350 = 0.08

Rachael Carson schools :

Number of students = 500

Number who ride to school = 40

40 / 500 = 0.08

Yes, they both have the same rate

2)

Adams high:

Number of students = 400

Spanish speakers = 72

Rate = 72 /400 = 0.18

Francis Lewis :

Number of students = 250

Since rate is the same,

Hence,

Number of Spanish speakers = 250 * 0.18 = 45 students

3.)

Marco Earns $24 for 6 hours worked

Olivia makes $36 for 8 hours worked

Marco's rate of pay :

Amount earned per hour : $24 / 6 = $4

Olivia's rate of pay :

$36 / 8 = $4.5

They do not earn at the same rate
