To find out how many hours Abraham will have to work to earn $483, we need to divide the total amount earned by the hourly rate.
Let's say Abraham works for 'x' hours to earn $483.
Using the formula:
Total earnings = Hourly rate * Number of hours worked
We can set up the equation as:
483 = 11.50 * x
Now, to solve for 'x,' we need to isolate the variable.
First, divide both sides of the equation by 11.50:
483 / 11.50 = x
This simplifies to:
41.956521739130434782608695652174 = x
Rounding this number to the nearest whole number, we find that Abraham will need to work approximately 42 hours to earn $483.
