Question

Samuel earned 18.90 working last weekend. He worked for 2 and 1 fourth hours. Which equation and solution represents e, the amount Samuel earns each houre at his job

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation that represents the amount Samuel earns per hour is "e = (total earned)/(total time worked)", on last weekend he earned 8.4 per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Samuel worked a total of 2 and 1/4 hours it means that he worked:

hours worked = 2 + 1/4

hours worked = 8/4 + 1/4

hours worked = 9/4

He earned a total of 18.9 working that many hours. If we divide the total amount he earned by the number of worked hours we can find the total he earns per hour.

e = (total earned)/(total time worked)

e = 18.9/(9/4)

e = 18.9*(4/9)

e = 75.6/9

e = 8.4 per hour

The equation that represents the amount Samuel earns per hour is "e = (total earned)/(total time worked)", on last weekend he earned 8.4 per hour.
