To find out how much Jerilynn will be paid for 6 1/2 hours of work based on her pay rate for 3/4 hour, we first need to determine her hourly pay rate.
-
Calculate the hourly pay rate: \[ \text{Hourly Pay Rate} = \frac{\text{Total Pay for 3/4 hour}}{\text{Time in hours}} \] Jerilynn is paid $9.75 for 3/4 hour of work.
Convert 3/4 hour to decimal: \[ \frac{3}{4} = 0.75 \text{ hours} \]
Now, calculate the hourly rate: \[ \text{Hourly Pay Rate} = \frac{9.75}{0.75} = 13.00 \]
So, Jerilynn's hourly pay rate is $13.00 per hour.
-
Calculate the pay for 6 1/2 hours of work: Convert 6 1/2 hours to decimal: \[ 6 \frac{1}{2} = 6.5 \text{ hours} \]
Now, calculate the total pay: \[ \text{Total Pay} = \text{Hourly Pay Rate} \times \text{Total Hours} \] \[ \text{Total Pay} = 13.00 \times 6.5 = 84.50 \]
Thus, Jerilynn will be paid $84.50 for 6 1/2 hours of work.
