of a day?
To find out how much Ariel can get for working 2/7 of a day, we need to determine the fraction of $42 she would earn for this fraction of a day.
First, we divide $42 by 7 to find out Ariel's earnings for 1/7 of a day. This will give us $6.
Next, to find out Ariel's earnings for 2/7 of a day, we multiply her earnings for 1/7 of a day by 2.
So, Ariel would earn 2 * $6 = $12 for working 2/7 of a day.
