You make $42.50 babysitting for 5 hours. How much will you make in 8 hours?

Answer 1

Are you sure?

Answer 2

To find out how much you will make in 8 hours, you can set up a proportion:

$42.50/5 hours = x/8 hours

Cross multiplying gives:

5x = $42.50 * 8
5x = $340

Dividing both sides by 5 gives:

x = $340 / 5
x = $68

Therefore, you will make $68 in 8 hours.
