Question

If rolando earned $28.50 in 2 hours, how much would he earn in 8 hours?

Answer 1

First, we need to find his unit rate, the amount he earns in 1 hour.

So, we have to divide 28.50 by 2.

That is:

28.50 / 2 = $14.25 per hour

To find the amount he earns in 8 hours, we will need to multiply hourly rate found by "8". So,

14.25 * 8 = $114

Rolando earns $114 in 8 hours
