Answer 1

To find the amount worker 2 would be paid for 4 weeks of work, we can set up a proportion:

Worker 1's pay rate: $114/3 weeks = $38/week

Now we can use this rate to find worker 2's pay for 4 weeks:

Worker 2's pay rate: $38/week * 4 weeks = $152

So, worker 2 would be paid $152 for 4 weeks of work.
