1 answer

To find how much money Landon makes in 1 hour, we can look at the information provided:

He worked for 4 hours and earned $48. To find the earnings per hour, we can divide the total money earned by the total hours worked:

\[ \text{Money earned in 1 hour} = \frac{\text{Total money earned}}{\text{Hours worked}} = \frac{48}{4} = 12 \]

So, Landon makes $12 per hour.

To find out how many hours he needs to work to make $156, we can set up the equation based on his hourly wage:

Let \( h \) be the number of hours he needs to work.

\[ \text{Total money earned} = \text{Hourly wage} \times \text{Hours worked} \] \[ 156 = 12h \]

Now, solve for \( h \):

\[ h = \frac{156}{12} = 13 \]

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

To summarize:

  • Money earned in 1 hour: $12
  • Hours needed to work for $156: 13 hours
