Answer 1

To determine how much money Landon makes in 1 hour, we can use the information provided that after working 4 hours he earned $48.

1. Calculate Money Earned per Hour: \[ \text{Money earned per hour} = \frac{\text{Total Money Earned}}{\text{Hours Worked}} = \frac{48}{4} = 12 \text{ dollars/hour} \] So, Landon makes $12 for every hour worked.

2. Determine How Many Hours for $156: To find out how many hours he needs to work to make $156, we can set up the equation: \[ \text{Total Money Earned} = \text{Money per Hour} \times \text{Hours Worked} \] Rearranging gives us: \[ \text{Hours Worked} = \frac{\text{Total Money Earned}}{\text{Money per Hour}} = \frac{156}{12} = 13 \text{ hours} \]

In summary:

• Landon makes $12 for 1 hour of work.
• He needs to work 13 hours to earn $156.
