Answer:
$5
Explanation:
Since Jerry walked the dog from 6:40am to 7:30am, the total minutes that he walked the dog was 50 minutes. Also a note, an hour is 60 minutes.
Since he is paid at a rate of $6 per 60 minutes, we can make a proportion.
660=x50
From here, you have to solve for x. So cross multiply, and then simplify.
60x=50⋅6
60x60=50⋅6/60
60x60=50⋅6/60
x=5⋅6/6
x=5
So the answer is $5.
