Question

While shopping, Kyla found a dress that she would like to purchase, but it costs $49.50 more than she has. Kyla charges $5.50 an hour for babysitting. She wants to figure out how many hours she must babysit to earn $49.50 to buy the dress.​

Answer 1

Answer:

9 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We can do this 2 ways but I think you will want this the easiest way :)

So we can divide:

49.50/5.50

9

Or we can multiply and keep multiplying 5.50 by different numbers until we get 49.50 or over (this way will take longer)

5.50 x 1

5.50 x 2

and so on and so fourth

With the first way we figued out she will need to babysit for 9 hours :)

Have an amazing day!!
