Answer:

Charges of $12 per hour is a better option than $8 an hour to babysit with an additional flat fee of $15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Janie charges $8 an hour to babysit with an additional flat fee of $15 for each babysitting job. She wants to purchase a new game system that will cost her $139.40.

To Find: Write an inequality to show the least number of complete hours she needs to babysit to purchase the game

Solution:

Let say the number of hrs  = t

Charges = 8t + 15

Charges  ≥  new game system cost

=> 8t + 15   ≥  139.40

=>  8t   ≥  124.40

=> t  ≥  15.55

=> t = 16

minimum 16 hrs job

Janie is considering changing her rate to $12.00 an hour with no flat fee.

Charges = 12t

12t  ≥  139.40

=> t  ≥  11.62

=> t = 12

minimum 12 hrs job  

charges of $12 per hour is a better option than $8 an hour to babysit with an additional flat fee of $15

What is 2 3/8 as an improper fraction?<br><br> Give answers, please.
m_a_m_a [10]

To convert a mixed fraction into an improper fraction, we must follow some steps.

First, we take the whole part and multiply it by the denominator of the fraction.

In this case, we take 2 and multiply it by 8.

Now we add the numerator:

16+3=19

The denominator stays the same:

\frac{19}{8}

Hope it helps! :)
