Answer 1

To find Kyle's average hourly earnings for the job, we need to divide the total amount he earned by the number of hours worked.

First, we need to find the total amount Kyle earned. There are four tasks he completed: mowing the grass, edging the lawn, cleaning up the leaves, and planting 2 flower beds.

Let's assign a dollar value to each task:

- Mowing the grass: $10
- Edging the lawn: $8
- Cleaning up the leaves: $6
- Planting 2 flower beds: $20

Adding up the total amount Kyle earned:
$10 + $8 + $6 + $20 = $<<10+8+6+20=44>>44

Now, we divide the total amount Kyle earned ($44) by the number of hours he worked (3.2 hours):

$44 / 3.2 hours = $13.75

Therefore, Kyle's average hourly earnings for the job is $13.75.
