Question

An illustration shows two graphs depicting earnings per hour for employees 1 and 2. The first graph shows earnings per hour for employee 1. The horizontal axis shows hours ranging from 0 to 8 in increments of 2. The vertical axis shows earnings in dollars ranging from 0 to 80 in increments of 5. Four data points are plotted on the graph at left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 2 comma 25 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 4 comma 50 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 6 comma 75 right parenthesis. A line connects all the data points. The second graph shows earnings per hour for employee 2. The horizontal axis shows hours ranging from 0 to 6 in increments of 1. The vertical axis shows earnings in dollars ranging from 0 to 80 in increments of 5. Four data points are plotted on the graph at left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 1 comma 15 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 3 comma 45 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 5 comma 75 right parenthesis. A line connects all the data points.

(1 point)
Employee ________ earns more per hour.

Answer 1

To determine which employee earns more per hour, we can examine the data points plotted for each employee.

For Employee 1, the earnings at each interval are:

• At 0 hours: $0
• At 2 hours: $25 (which is $12.50 per hour)
• At 4 hours: $50 (which is $12.50 per hour)
• At 6 hours: $75 (which is $12.50 per hour)

For Employee 2, the earnings at each interval are:

• At 0 hours: $0
• At 1 hour: $15 (which is $15.00 per hour)
• At 3 hours: $45 (which is $15.00 per hour)
• At 5 hours: $75 (which is $15.00 per hour)

From this analysis:

• Employee 1 earns $12.50 per hour consistently.
• Employee 2 earns $15.00 per hour consistently.

Thus, Employee 2 earns more per hour.

The answer is:

Employee 2 earns more per hour.

Answer 3

Yes, based on the data points provided for each employee, Employee 2 earns more per hour than Employee 1.

To summarize:

• Employee 1's earnings per hour:

  • 2 hours: $25 → $12.50/hour
  • 4 hours: $50 → $12.50/hour
  • 6 hours: $75 → $12.50/hour
  • Average rate = $12.50/hour

• Employee 2's earnings per hour:

  • 1 hour: $15 → $15.00/hour
  • 3 hours: $45 → $15.00/hour
  • 5 hours: $75 → $15.00/hour
  • Average rate = $15.00/hour

Thus, Employment 2 consistently earns more per hour than Employee 1. Therefore, the conclusion is accurate: Employee 2 earns more per hour.
