Given the statement:
Naomi has earned $54 mowing lawns the past two days. shew worked 2 1/2 hours yesterday and 4 1/2 hours today.
Determine the amount paid per hour.
Solution:
In order to determine the amount paid per hour, we simply needed to add first 2 ½ and 4 ½ then divide the sum to 54.
= 2.5 + 4.5
= 7
= $54/7
= $7.71 per hour
Final answer:
= $7.71 per hour
