Answer 1

Given:

Babysitting =$11/hours

Tutoring=$17/hours

Total work hours is=12 hours

Minimum many earn=$150

Work 2 houre for babysitting

so money earn is:

$\begin{gathered} \text{earn amount =2}\times11 \\ =22 \end{gathered}$

Earn amount is $ 22

then required amount is:

$\begin{gathered} \text{required amount =150-22} \\ =128 \end{gathered}$

so tutoring time for reuired amount is:

$\begin{gathered} tutoring\text{ time=}\frac{128}{17} \\ =7.52 \end{gathered}$

so 7.52 hours is tutoring time and 2 hours babysitting then it 9.52 hours achieved minimum earn amount

so minimum hours for tutoring is 7.52 hours.
