Question

Omar made $299 for 13 hours of work.
At the same rate, how many hours would he have to work to make $253?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is (11 hours)

Step-by-step explanation:

I first divided 299 by 13 hours to find the rate.

I got the dividend of 23.

All you do now is add $23 per hour.

Once you add 11 hours of this rate. You'll get the sum of $253.

Answer 2

Solving for the amount of hours by cross multiplication

money/hours=money/hours

$299/13hours=$253/x hours

$\frac{299}{13} =\frac{253}{x} \\\\23=\frac{253}{x} \\\\23x=253\\\\x=253/23\\\\x=11$

Hope this helps, HAVE A BLESSED AND WONDERFUL DAY! I also hope you had a great Superbowl Weekend! :-)
