A company pays their employees $20 per hour. Using fractional notation, write a proportion that represents how long an employee must work to make $80. Use x to represent the unknown number of hours....
$\frac{x}{1} = \frac{80}{20}$
Simplifying the proportion:
$x = \frac{80}{20}$
$x = 4$
Therefore, an employee must work 4 hours to make $80.
