Answer 1

Given :

Carl earns $3.24 per hour walking his neighbour's dogs.

He walks them 1/4 of an hour in the morning and 1/2 of an hour in the afternoon.

To Find :

How much money does Carl earn each day.

Solution :

Total time of walk per hour, T = 1/4 + 1/2 = 3/4 hours.

Money for 1 hour is $3.24 .

So, money for 3/4 hour :

`3.24* (3)/(4)=\$2.43`

Therefore, money does Carl earn each day is $2.43 .

Hence, this is the required solution.
