Question

Suppose Raj receives a rasie for his hard work and now earns $6.25 per hours. How many hours would he need to work to earn $132

Answer 1

I agree with the person

Answer 2

He wants to earn 132. And he earns 6.25 per hour. Let's say x equals the number of hours he needs to work in order to earn 132.

132 = 6.25x

Use inverse operations and divide both sides by 6.25.

6.25x/6.25 = x

132/6.25 = 21.12

0.12 of a minute can be solved by multiplying 0.12 by 60, which is 7.2.

0.12 of a minute equals 7.2 minutes.

Therefore, 21 hours and 7.2 minutes.

(If you want a rounded answer, though, you can say about 22 hours)
