I think I'm thinking right but not sure. Earning $4.23 for each half hour rate that i work. How much money do i earn during a given amount of time?
Reprent situation using graph,table,and rule.
So for table
4.23 / half hr
8.48 / 1hr
12.69/ 1hr 1/2
Am I going in tight direction?
Yes; Check your math for the hourly rate.
Thank you
You're welcome.
Yes, you are going in the right direction! However, there seems to be a small mistake in the conversions. Let me help you correct it.
To represent the situation using a table, you correctly started with the conversion of $4.23 per half hour. Here's the corrected version:
Time (in hours) | Earnings (in dollars)
----------------------------------------
0.5 | $4.23
1.0 | $8.46 (not $8.48)
1.5 | $12.69
To calculate the earnings for a given amount of time, you can use the rule that states: earnings = time * (earnings per hour). In this case, the earnings per hour is $8.46.
For example, if you work for 2 hours, you can multiply 2 (hours) by $8.46 (earnings per hour) to get $16.92.
To represent the situation using a graph, you can plot the time (in hours) on the x-axis and the earnings (in dollars) on the y-axis. Then, you can plot the points based on the table entries and connect them with a line.
Remember, the values in the table and the graph will vary depending on the time you work, but the method to calculate the earnings remains the same. Does this clarify your understanding?
