Becky works 40 hours each week and makes $320. How much does she make per hour? Use a number line to solve this problem.
I have a number line is labeled 0-320 but I cant seem to figure this one out.
$320 / 40 = $8 per hour
320 dollars / 40 hours = 8 dollars/hr
divide your number line from 0 to 320 up into 40 equal parts.
To determine how much Becky makes per hour, you can use a number line to break down the $320 she makes in a 40-hour workweek.
1. Start by plotting the given value of $320 on the number line. Label it at the appropriate position.
320
|-------------------------------|
2. Divide the total amount that Becky makes ($320) by the number of hours she works in a week (40) to find the amount she makes per hour.
$320 ÷ 40 = $8
3. On the number line, mark the position that represents the amount Becky makes per hour, which is $8.
320
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
$8
Therefore, Becky makes $8 per hour.
