1 answer

To find out how much money Landon makes in 1 hour, we can divide the total amount he made by the number of hours he worked.

Landon made $48 for working 4 hours:

\[ \text{Hourly wage} = \frac{\text{Total earnings}}{\text{Total hours}} = \frac{48}{4} = 12 \]

So, Landon makes $12 per hour.

Next, to find out how many hours he needs to work to make $156, we can divide the total amount he wants to earn by his hourly wage:

\[ \text{Hours needed} = \frac{\text{Desired earnings}}{\text{Hourly wage}} = \frac{156}{12} = 13 \]

Therefore, Landon needs to work 13 hours to make $156.
