Answer 1

4 babysitters earn $6 or more per hour because 3 earn $6 and 1 earn $7. The others all earn $5 or less per hour.

Answer 2

Answer:

There are 4 babysitters who earns $6 or more.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

The dots represents the number of babysitters.

It is required to find the number of babysitters earning $6 or more per hour.

The number of dots above 4 dollars = 4

The number of dots above 5 dollars = 2

The number of dots above 6 dollars = 3

The number of dots above 7 dollars = 1

So, the number of babysitters earning $6 or more = 3 + 1 = 4.

Thus, there are 4 babysitters who earns $6 or more.
