To find the hourly rate, divide the amount earned by the hours.
$58.50/13 is $4.50 per hour.
$121.50/27 is also $4.50 per hour.
The rate of pay is $4.50 per hour.

Rewrite 17/20 and 21/25, so that they have a common denominator then use <,>or = to order 17/20 and 21/25

ohaa [14]

The least common denominator is
20 = 2 * 2 * 5
25 = 5 * 5

The least common denominator has two 5s and two 2s.
LCD = 2*2*5*5 = 100

17/20 = 17 * 5/ 20*5 = 85 / 100
21/25 = 21* 4/25*4 = 84 / 100

Talk about close
17/20 > 21/25 <<<< answer

But I hate to have predicted that before hand.

Ralph is an electrician. He charges an initial fee of $26, plus $31 per hour. If Ralph earned $119 on a job, how long did the jo

3 hours

You can turn this into an equation:

F = 26 + 31t
Where F is the money Ralph earned, and t is the number of hours he worked.

Plugging in the 119 for F, we get
119 = 26 + 31t

93 = 31t

3 = t
