Question

Jesse earns $6 an hour babysitting for his younger brother. His mom gave him $71 last week. This included his babysitting money and his $20 allowance. How many hours did Jesse babysit?

Answer 1

Answer:

8.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so he made $71 last week including his $20 allowance. We can take out the allowance 71-20= 51 dollars made from babysitting. But they are asking us to find how many hours he worked.. knowing he gets paid $6 an hour we can divide 51/6 = 8.5 hours babysitting.

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Answer:

8 and a half hours

Step-by-step explanation:

71 minus 20 equals 51 then divide 51 by 6 equalling 8.5 so your answer is about 8 anh a half hours of baby siting
