Question

Will someone please help me here

Answer 1

Hey!

First you have to find the price for 1 hour. Divide the total price by the time

$\frac{Total\ Price}{Time} = \frac{\ 209}{11}$

Divide 209 by 11

$\ 209 \div 11 = \ 19\ /hour$

Divide $152 by $19

$152 \div 19 = 8$

That means Austin would have to work 8 hours to make $152

$\framebox{Answer = 8 hours}$

Good luck and hope this helps!

Answer 2

You would use unit rate for this. If Austin makes $209 in 11 hours, then he makes 209/11 = 19 dollars in 1 hour.

Then, we can make a proportion:

$19/1 hour = $152/ x hours

Cross multiply:

152 = 19x

Solve for x to get:

x = 8 hours.
