To calculate how much Emily earned in one day, you multiply the number of miles driven by the pay per mile.
Emily drives 460 miles and is paid $0.33 per mile:
\[
\text{Earnings} = \text{Miles Driven} \times \text{Pay per Mile}
\]
\[
\text{Earnings} = 460 \text{ miles} \times 0.33 \text{ dollars/mile}
\]
Now, we can perform the multiplication:
\[
\text{Earnings} = 460 \times 0.33 = 151.80
\]
Therefore, Emily earned **$151.80** that day.
The correct answer is **$151.80**.
