Answer 1

To determine how much Naomi and Mav earn per hour, we can calculate their hourly wages.

**Naomi's Earnings:**
- Total earnings: $123.00
- Total hours worked: 66 hours

Hourly wage for Naomi:
\[
\text{Hourly wage} = \frac{\text{Total earnings}}{\text{Total hours}} = \frac{123.00}{66} \approx 1.86
\]

**Mav's Earnings:**
- Total earnings: $515.20
- Total hours worked: 2323 hours

Hourly wage for Mav:
\[
\text{Hourly wage} = \frac{\text{Total earnings}}{\text{Total hours}} = \frac{515.20}{2323} \approx 0.22
\]

Now we compare their hourly wages:

- Naomi's hourly wage: **$1.86**
- Mav's hourly wage: **$0.22**

To fill in the statement:
"Naomi earns **$1.86** per hour **more** than Mav."

So the completed sentence would be:
“Naomi earns $1.86 more per hour than Mav.”
