Sarah was trying to save up some money. At her job she made $12 an hour and she worked 28 hours a week. After paying for her food and other expenditures, she ended up only saving 1/6 of her week’s earnings. How much money did she save that week?
so multiply 28*12= 336 so she earned 336 in a week so divided 336 by 6 and you get 56 she saved $56 in total
what about the 1/6
the 1/6 is the $56
oh ok
To find out how much money Sarah saved that week, we need to determine her weekly earnings first.
Sarah's hourly wage is $12, and she works 28 hours a week. Therefore, her weekly earnings can be calculated by multiplying her hourly wage by the number of hours she works:
Weekly Earnings = Hourly Wage × Number of Hours Worked
Substituting the given values into the equation, we get:
Weekly Earnings = $12 × 28 = $336
Now, we know that Sarah saved only 1/6 of her weekly earnings. To find out how much money she saved, we need to calculate 1/6 of $336. We can do this by multiplying her weekly earnings by 1/6:
Amount Saved = Weekly Earnings × (1/6)
Substituting the values, we get:
Amount Saved = $336 × (1/6) = $56
Therefore, Sarah saved $56 that week.
