To determine Sara's hourly rate and weekly earnings based on the graph, we need to look at the information provided.
1. Hourly Rate:
From the graph, we can see that the slope of the line represents Sara's hourly rate. To find the hourly rate, we can determine the change in earnings over the change in hours worked. Looking at two points on the line, we can calculate the slope:
Slope = (Change in earnings) / (Change in hours)
Using the coordinates (20, 10) and (40, 30) from the graph, we can calculate the change in earnings and change in hours:
Change in earnings = 30 - 10 = 20
Change in hours = 40 - 20 = 20
Therefore, the slope (hourly rate) is:
Hourly Rate = (Change in earnings) / (Change in hours) = 20 / 20 = 1 dollar per hour
So Sara's hourly rate is 1 dollar per hour.
2. Weekly Earnings:
To find Sara's weekly earnings, we can multiply her hourly rate by the number of hours she works in a week. Given that Sara works 40 hours in a week, we can calculate her weekly earnings:
Weekly Earnings = Hourly Rate * Hours worked
Substituting the values we found before, we get:
Weekly Earnings = 1 dollar/hour * 40 hours = 40 dollars
So Sara will earn 40 dollars if she works 40 hours in a week.
Filling in the blanks:
Blank 1: Sara makes 1 dollar per hour.
Blank 2: If Sara works 40 hours in a week, she will earn 40 dollars.
Based on the graph, it is not possible to accurately determine the values for Blank 1 and Blank 2 without specific information or labels provided on the graph. Please provide additional information or clarify the given graph, and I will be happy to assist you further.
