, he earns after 6 hours.(1 point)
Responses

t=8+h
; $14
t equals 8 plus h ; $14

t=8h
; $0.75
t equals 8 h ; $0.75

t=8h
; $48
t equals 8 h ; $48

8t=h
; $48
8 t equals h ; $48

Answer 1

The correct equation representing the relationship between the number of hours he babysits (h) and the total amount of money (t) he earns is:

\[ t = 8h \]

This means that for every hour he babysits, he earns $8.

After 6 hours, the total amount he would earn is:

\[ t = 8(6) = 48 \]

So, the complete answer would be:

• Equation: \( t = 8h \)
• Total earned after 6 hours: $48

The correct response from the options you provided is:

• \( t = 8h \); $48
