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.”
