First you must find how much he earns per hour. In order to do this, you must divide 36 by 3. This gets you 12. So, we know that Ed earns 12 dollars per hour. Now you just multiply this by 5 to get you answer (60).
36/3=12----Divide the money he makes($36 dollars) for the hours he works.(3 hours) To see how much he make an hour
12*5=60----Now that we know how much he makes a hour multiply this by however many hours you want.(5 hours) And you get 60.Just add your money symbol ($)
So multiplying decimal and whole number means it will always equal as a decimal. But multiplying decimal with decimal means could equal whole or decimal number
