Answer 2

$37.60

Explanation:

Eve earns:

• $4.00 per 12 minutes spent picking pumpkins
• $4.40 per 12 minutes spent picking apples

Money earned from picking pumpkins:

1 hour = 60 minutes

`\begin{aligned}\implies \sf Money\:earned & = \sf Salary * 60\:minutes\\\\& = \sf \$4.00\:per\:12\:minutes * 60\:minutes\\\\& =\sf (\$4.00)/(12\:minutes) * 60\:minutes\\\\ & = \sf \$4.00 * (60\:minutes)/(12\:minutes)\\\\ & = \sf \$4.00 * 5\\\\ & = \sf\$20.00\end{aligned}`

Money earned from picking apples:

`\begin{aligned}\implies \sf Money\:earned & = \sf Salary * 48\:minutes\\\\& = \sf \$4.40\:per\:12\:minutes * 48\:minutes\\\\& =\sf (\$4.40)/(12\:minutes) * 48\:minutes\\\\ & = \sf \$4.40 * (48\:minutes)/(12\:minutes)\\\\ & = \sf \$4.40 * 4\\\\ & = \sf\$17.60\end{aligned}`

Total earned:

= money earned from picking pumpkins + money earned from picking apples

= $20.00 + $17.60

= $37.60
