Rosanne earned $5 for 1/2 of an hour of babysitting. At this rate, how much would Rosanne make in 1 hour?

Question

Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, mixed number, or whole number.

Answer 1

To determine how much Rosanne would make in 1 hour of babysitting, we start from the information given: she earned $5 for half an hour (1/2 hour).

To find her hourly rate, we can multiply her earnings for half an hour by 2:

\[ \text{Earnings for 1 hour} = 5 \text{ dollars} \times 2 = 10 \text{ dollars} \]

Thus, at the same rate, Rosanne would make $10 in 1 hour.
