Question

Btw John makes 9$ an hour and amber makes 8$ an hour. REMEMBER TO ANSWER IN MINUTES NOT HOURS.

Answer 1

Hello there! Provided the information, we know that the nearest multiple of 8 and 9 has to be greater than 50. 8 and 9 do not go into 50.

$9 • 6 hours = $54

$8 • 7 hours = $56

There are 60 minutes in an hour, so we can multiply accordingly:

60 minutes • 6 hours = 360 minutes

60 minutes • 7 hours = 420 minutes

Your final answers are:

It will take John 360 minutes to earn $50.

It will take Amber 420 minutes to earn $50.

(P.S. It takes Amber one more hour to earn $50 than it does for John to earn $50.)

Hope this helps!
