If karen works 85 hours within two weeks and earns $1,891.25, you'd set up an equation like this, to find the value of x ----

x=amount of money per hour Karen works

85x=1,891.25

then divide 1,891.25 by 85

x=22.25

this says that karen gets $22.25 for every hour she works.... then to find how much she works for 8 hours you want to multiply the amount of money she gets per hour by 8 hours.

22.25 x 8 = 178

Karen earns $178 after working 8 hours.

Reduce the fraction to lowest terms. y+5/2y+10 A:1/4 B:1/2 C:2/5

Oduvanchick [21]

The given fraction is:

$\frac{y+5}{2y+10}$

We cannot take anything common from the numerator but from the denominator we can take out 2 as common because 2 is a factor of both the terms i.e. 2y and 10.

2y + 10 can be written as 2y +2(5) which can further be written as 2(y+5)

So, our fraction now becomes:

$\frac{y+5}{2(y+5)}$

y+5 occurs in both the numerator and denominator and thus be cancelled out leaving behind:

$\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, the given fraction in lowest term is equal to 1/2. So option B is the correct answer
