Question

Daniel worked for 2 1/3 hours and earned $18.20. How much would he make if he worked for 5 1/4 hours? Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

Answer:

Daniel would make $40.95.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

The amount of money earned by Daniel after working for $2\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{7}{3}$ hours = $18.20

Then, the amount of money earned by Daniel after working for $5\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{21}{4}$ hour is,

$Amount=\dfrac{18.20}{\dfrac{7}{3}}\times \dfrac{21}{4}\\\\Amount=\dfrac{18.20\times 3}{7}\times \dfrac{21}{4}\\\\Amount=\dfrac{54.6}{7}\times \dfrac{21}{4}\\\\Amount= 7.8\times 5.25\\\\Amount= \ 40.95$

Hence, Daniel would make $40.95.

Answer 2

2 1/3hrs→ $18.20
1 hr→ $7.80
5 1/4hrs→ $7.80x5 1/4= $40.95
