Answer 1

Answer:

Same i.e. $40

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Kelly works 2 days for 4 hours each day and earns $5 an hour.

Len works 5 days for 2 hours each day and earns $4 an hour.

For Kelly,

Earning = (2×4)×$5 = $40

It means that the earning for both Kelly and Len is same i.e. $40.
