Enter your equation in the space provided.

Answer 1

Answer:

A). h = 20 w

B). m = 10.5h

Step-by-step explanation:

Part (A).

Let the total number of hours Hector worked = h

And total number of weeks worked by Hector = w

Therefore, number of hours Hector worked in a week = $\frac{h}{w}$

Since, total number of hours worked in a week = 20

Equation will be,

20 = $\frac{h}{w}$

h = 20w

Part (B).

Per hour earning of Hector = $\frac{\text{Total earning}}{\text{Number of hours worked}}=\frac{210}{20}$

$\frac{m}{h}=10.5$

m = 10.5h
