Question

Anita earns $72 every 6 h to fix bicycles. How much money will she earn in 4 h if she is paid at the same rate?

Answer 1

Answer:

$48 in 4 hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up two equal proportions and cross-multiply, putting the money on top and the hours on bottom.

$\frac{72 dollars}{6 hr} = \frac{x dollars}{4 hr}$

Now we can cross-multiply:

72*4 = 6x

288 = 6x

x = 288/6 = $48

Answer 2

Answer:

$48

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount : hour

$72 : 6

$X : 4

4/6 = X/72

X = 72 × 4/6

X = 48
