Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed {\tt \ 15.75 \ per \ hour}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find Jean's hourly pay rate. In other words, his pay per hour.

We can find the pay rate by dividing the money he is paid by the number of hours worked.

$pay \ rate =\frac{money \ paid }{hours}$

He is paid $630 for 40 hours.

$money \ paid= 630 \\hours= 40\ hours$

$pay \ rate = \frac{\ 630}{40\ hours}$

Divide.

$pay\ rate = \ 15.75 / hour$

His hourly pay rate is $15.75 per hour.

Answer 2

360/40=15.75 You have to divide 360 in 40
