Rida:
5 1/2 :77
5.5 : 77
Divide both sides by 5.5 to get $/hour:
1:14

Elisa:
3 3/4:60
3.75:60
Divide both sides by 3.75 to get $/hour:
1:16

16 is bigger than 14 so Elisa earns more.

Answer:

Elisa hourly salary is more than Rida's hourly salary

Step-by-step explanation:

Rida worked for [tex]5\dfrac{1}{2}\ hours[/tex] and earned $77

Elisa worked for[tex]3\dfrac{3}{4}\ hours[/tex]and earned $ 60

Rida salary per hour will be = [tex]\dfrac{77}{\dfrac{11}{2}}[/tex]

                                              = $ 14

Elisa salary per hour will be = [tex]\dfrac{60}{\dfrac{15}{4}}[/tex]

                                              =  $ 16

hence, Elisa hourly salary is more than Rida's hourly salary
