Question

John made 357$ for 17 hours of work.

Answer 1

$\begin{array}{ccll} \ &hrs\\ \cline{1-2} 357&17\\ 237&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{357}{237}=\cfrac{17}{x}\implies \implies \cfrac{119}{79}=\cfrac{17}{x}\implies 119x=1343 \\\\\\ x = \cfrac{1343}{119}\implies x = \cfrac{79}{7}\implies x = 11\frac{2}{7}\leftarrow \textit{11 hours, 17 minutes and 8 seconds}$

Answer 2

Answer: 14 hours

Step-by-step explanation: First I found the unit rate of how much money per hour. So, 357 divided by 17 = 21. So know I know that she earns 21$ per hour. Then, I did 237 divided by 17 which would be 13 remainder 16. Since he only get paid if he works for a full hour, I think the answer would be 14.
