To calculate Emily's earnings for the day, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Earnings} = \text{Miles Driven} \times \text{Pay per Mile}

Substituting the values provided:
\[
\text{Earnings} = 460 \, \text{miles} \times 0.33 \, \text{dollars/mile}
\]
Now, performing the multiplication:
\[
\text{Earnings} = 460 \times 0.33 = 151.8
\]
Therefore, Emily earned **$151.80** that day.
