Question

URGENT!!! Connor earns $24 working every 1.5 hours. Complete the table using equivalent ratios.

Answer 1

First find the rate, so dollars/1 hour

To do this, divide both sides by 1.5 so u get the Pay of one hour because 1.5/1.5 is one and the result is 16/1 hour, now multiply 16 by the hour so 16(8) then 16(12) and so on, you can do it well! I don’t have a calculator lol

Answer 2

Answer:

a)

$\displaystyle\frac{8}{128}$

b)

$\displaystyle\frac{12}{192}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question.

Connor earns $24 working every 1.5 hours.

Thus, we can write the ration for hours to dollars earned as:

$\text{Ratio} = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Hours}}{\text{Dollars earned}}\\\\= \frac{1.5}{24} = \frac{1}{16}$

We have to find the equivalent ratios.

a) Hours = 8. Let x be the dollars earned.

$\displaystyle\frac{1}{16} = \frac{8}{x}\\x = 8\times 16\\x = 128$

Thus, she earned $128 in 8 hours.

b) Hours = 12. Let x be the dollars earned.

$\displaystyle\frac{1}{16} = \frac{12}{x}\\x = 12\times 16\\x = 192$

Thus, she earned $192 in 12 hours.
