To find the minimum number of hours Kayla will need to work, we can set up a proportion.
Let x be the minimum number of hours Kayla will need to work.
Using the concept of proportion, we can set up the following equation:
8/136 = x/175
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
8 * 175 = 136 * x
1400 = 136 * x
x = 1400/136
x ≈ 10.29
Since hours cannot be fractional, Kayla will need to work at least 11 hours (the next whole number) to purchase the pickleball paddle.
Therefore, the correct answer is: 11 hours.
is the answer 11
Yes, the correct answer is 11 hours.
is the answer 12
No, the correct answer is 11 hours. Kayla will need to work at least 11 hours to purchase the pickleball paddle.
To find the minimum number of hours Kayla needs to work in order to purchase the pickleball paddle, we can set up an equation:
Paddle cost = Kayla's hourly rate x Number of hours worked
We are given that Kayla earned $136 for 8 hours of work:
136 = Kayla's hourly rate x 8
To find Kayla's hourly rate, we divide both sides of the equation by 8:
Kayla's hourly rate = 136 / 8 = $17/hour
Now we can use this hourly rate to find the minimum number of hours she needs to work to earn $175 (paddle cost):
175 = $17/hour x Number of hours worked
To solve for the number of hours worked, divide both sides of the equation by $17:
Number of hours worked = 175 / 17 ≈ 10.29
Since we can't work a fraction of an hour, Kayla will need to work at least 11 hours in order to purchase the new pickleball paddle.
To find out the minimum number of hours Kayla needs to work in order to purchase a new pickleball paddle, we need to calculate the difference between the cost of the paddle and the amount of money she already earned.
First, let's calculate the remaining amount of money Kayla needs to earn:
Cost of the pickleball paddle = $175
Amount of money Kayla already earned = $136
Remaining amount of money = Cost of the paddle - Amount already earned
Remaining amount = $175 - $136 = $39
Next, we need to calculate how much Kayla earns per hour. To do this, we divide the amount she earned by the number of hours she worked:
Hourly rate = Amount earned / Number of hours worked
Hourly rate = $136 / 8 = $17/hour
Now, to find the minimum number of hours Kayla needs to work, we divide the remaining amount of money by her hourly rate:
Minimum hours = Remaining amount / Hourly rate
Minimum hours = $39 / $17 = 2.29
Since we cannot work fractional hours, we need to round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, the minimum number of hours Kayla needs to work in order to purchase the new pickleball paddle is 3 hours.
So, the correct response is:
3 hours
