Answer 1

To find out how much money Landon will make in 1 hour, we can divide the total money earned by the number of hours worked:

Money earned / Hours worked = Money earned per hour

In this case, Landon made $48 in 4 hours:

$48 / 4 = $12

So, Landon will make $12 per hour.

To find out how many hours Landon needs to work to make $156, we can look at the table:

Hours Worked 1 4 7 10
Money Earned $ y $48 $84 $120 $156

Landon made $156, but we don't know how many hours he worked. Let's call this unknown number of hours "x". So, we can set up the equation:

Money earned / Hours worked = Money earned per hour

$156 / x = $12

To solve for x, we can cross multiply:

$156 * 1 = $12 * x

$156 = $12x

Now, divide both sides of the equation by $12 to solve for x:

$156 / $12 = x

x = 13

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