Ms. Davis hires Kyle to mow the grass, edge the lawn, clean up the leaves, and plant 2 flower beds. Kyle spends 3.2 hours completing the work. What is Kyle's average hourly earnings for the job?
To find Kyle's average hourly earnings for the job, we need to divide the total amount earned by the total number of hours worked.
First, let's determine how much Kyle earned for the job. Since we don't have any information on his exact earnings, let's assume he earned $x for the job.
Next, let's plug in the information we have. We know that Kyle spent 3.2 hours completing the work, so his earnings can be calculated using the equation:
3.2 hours * (x dollars/hour) = x dollars
To find the average hourly earnings, we need to divide the total earnings by the total number of hours worked:
Average hourly earnings = Total earnings / Total hours worked
In this case, the total earnings is x dollars and the total hours worked is 3.2 hours. Therefore, the average hourly earnings for Kyle can be calculated as:
Average hourly earnings = x dollars / 3.2 hours
Please provide the exact amount earned by Kyle for the job so we can calculate his average hourly earnings.
To calculate Kyle's average hourly earnings, we need to divide the total amount earned for the job by the number of hours worked. Let's calculate each part of the job separately before adding them up:
1. Mowing the grass: let's assume this takes x hours. We don't know the hourly rate, so we'll use the variable r for the hourly rate of mowing the grass. This means mowing the grass earns Kyle x * r dollars.
2. Edging the lawn: let's assume this takes y hours. We don't know the hourly rate, so we'll use the variable s for the hourly rate of edging the lawn. This means edging the lawn earns Kyle y * s dollars.
3. Cleaning up the leaves: let's assume this takes z hours. We don't know the hourly rate, so we'll use the variable t for the hourly rate of cleaning up the leaves. This means cleaning up the leaves earns Kyle z * t dollars.
4. Planting the flower beds: this is a one-time task, so let's assume this takes w hours. We don't know the hourly rate, so we'll use the variable u for the hourly rate of planting the flower beds. This means planting the flower beds earns Kyle w * u dollars.
Our equations are:
1. x * r = earnings for mowing the grass
2. y * s = earnings for edging the lawn
3. z * t = earnings for cleaning up the leaves
4. w * u = earnings for planting the flower beds
From the problem, we're also told that the total time Kyle spends on the job is 3.2 hours, so we have:
x + y + z + w = 3.2
To find Kyle's average hourly earnings, we'll sum up the earnings from each part of the job:
(x * r + y * s + z * t + w * u) / 3.2 = average hourly earnings
Unfortunately, we don't have enough information to solve this problem. We would need either the values for x, r, y, s, z, t, w, or u to calculate Kyle's average hourly earnings.
To calculate Kyle's average hourly earnings for the job, we need to divide the total amount of money he earned by the number of hours he worked. In this case, we are given the total time Kyle spent on the job, which is 3.2 hours.
To calculate Kyle's earnings, we need to know how much Ms. Davis paid him for the job. Since we don't have that information, we cannot provide an exact answer. However, if we assume a total amount that Ms. Davis paid Kyle, let's say $50, we can calculate the average hourly earnings based on that assumption.
So, if Ms. Davis paid Kyle $50 for the job and he worked for 3.2 hours, we can divide the total amount paid by the number of hours worked:
Average Hourly Earnings = Total Amount Paid / Number of Hours Worked
Substituting the values, we get:
Average Hourly Earnings = $50 / 3.2 hours
Calculating this, we can find that Kyle's average hourly earnings would be:
Average Hourly Earnings = $15.63/hour (rounded to two decimal places)
Remember, this calculation is based on the assumption that Ms. Davis paid Kyle a total of $50 for the job. If you have the actual amount paid, use that to perform the calculation and get the accurate average hourly earnings for Kyle.
