Question
Juan charges $3.50 per hour for babysitting. Write a rule to describe the amount of money (M) earned is a function of the number of hours (h) spent baby-sitting. HELP PLEASE
Answers
3.5h = M
from this, how do you figure out how long it would take him to make 15 dollars?
3.5h = 15
Solve for h
Solve for h
so would it be 15/3.5
so 4 hours?
so 4 hours?
It would take more than 4 hours.
After four hours he'd only have $14.00.
After four hours he'd only have $14.00.
then what do you do to get the answer?
Divide 15 by 3.5
but that's what i did and you said it was wrong
15 / 3.5 = 4.28571429
You forgot the decimal places. It would take Juan about 4.3 hours or 4 hours and 18 minutes to earn $15.00.
