You earn $56 walking your neighbor's dog for 8 hours. Your friend earns $36 painting your neighbor's fence for 4 hours.
What is your pay rate? And What is your friend's pay rate?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Your pay rate is:  

$ 7  per hour

Your friend's pay rate is  :

$ 9  per hour

Explanation:

So if it takes you  8  hours to make  $ 56 , you can just divide the total money earned by the time.  So it would be  56 ÷ 8  which is  7 .

And if takes your friend  4  hours to make  $ 36 , you can divide like we just did . So it would be  36 ÷ 4  which is  9 .

So you make  $ 7  per hour and your friend makes  $ 9 per hour.

you would divide 56 by 8 to get 7. which is your pay rate. Then you would divide 36 by 4 to get 9. which is your friends pay rate.
