Willow must work
hours this week.

Answer 1

Answer:

10h=200

h=20

Step-by-step explanation:

10h=200

10h/10=200/10

h=20

Answer 2

Multiply the number of hours worked (h) by earnings per hour $10 to get

10h

This needs to be more than ( Greater than) 200

Now you have 10h > 200

Solve for h by dividing both sides by 10:

h >20

This means she needs to work more than 20 hours this week.
