5 0

Rida:
5 1/2 :77
5.5 : 77
Divide both sides by 5.5 to get $/hour:
1:14

Elisa:
3 3/4:60
3.75:60
Divide both sides by 3.75 to get $/hour:
1:16

16 is bigger than 14 so Elisa earns more.

Answer:

Elisa hourly salary is more than Rida's hourly salary

Step-by-step explanation:

Rida worked for $5\dfrac{1}{2}\ hours$ and earned $77

Elisa worked for $3\dfrac{3}{4}\ hours$ and earned $ 60

Rida salary per hour will be = $\dfrac{77}{\dfrac{11}{2}}$

= $ 14

Elisa salary per hour will be = $\dfrac{60}{\dfrac{15}{4}}$

= $ 16

hence, Elisa hourly salary is more than Rida's hourly salary
