Question

Rida and elisa are each paid by the hour. rida worked 5 1\2. hours and earned 77. elisa worked 3 3\4 HOURS AND EARNED 60. WHOSE HOURS RATE IS GREATER

Answer 1

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.

Hope this helps :)
