Mrs. Carson pays Kristen$48 for babysitting 6 hours, and Mr. Vasquez pays her $67.50 for babysitting 9 hours. Who pays Kristin the better salary? Explain your answer. *

HELP PLSSSSSS

you have to find the unit rates.

mrs. carson:
48 divided by 6 is 8$ per hour or 8$ / 1 hour.

mrs. vasquez:
67.50 divided by 9 is 7.50$ per hour or 7.50$ for 1 hour.

by finding the two unit rates with the denominator or numerator the same, you can compare them and you can find that mrs. carson pays more. the unit rates are equal to the original rates, the denominator is just the number 1. hope that helps. :]

48/6 = ?

67.50/9 = ?

Please I need the answer

To determine who pays Kristin the better salary, we need to compare the hourly rates of both Mrs. Carson and Mr. Vasquez.

First, let's calculate Mrs. Carson's hourly rate:

Hourly rate = Total payment / Number of hours
= $48 / 6
= $8 per hour

Next, let's calculate Mr. Vasquez's hourly rate:

Hourly rate = Total payment / Number of hours
= $67.50 / 9
= $7.50 per hour

Comparing the two hourly rates, we can see that Mrs. Carson pays Kristin $8 per hour, while Mr. Vasquez pays her $7.50 per hour.

Therefore, Mrs. Carson pays Kristin the better salary as she offers a higher hourly rate.
