This equation shows how the amount Becky earns from dog walking depends on the number of hours she works.

Question

d = 8h

The variable h represents the number of hours spent walking dogs, and the variable d represents the amount of money earned. After a total of 2 hours of walking dogs, how much money will Becky have earned?

Answer 1

To find out how much money Becky has earned after 2 hours of dog walking, you can substitute \( h = 2 \) into the equation \( d = 8h \):

\[ d = 8h \]

Substituting \( h = 2 \):

\[ d = 8 \times 2 \]

\[ d = 16 \]

Becky will have earned $16 after walking dogs for 2 hours.
