Question 2
A)
Jairo works for his uncle's lawn care company after school, on weekends, and on school holidays. The table below shows the number of hours that Jairo has worked and the amount of money that Jairo earned for his last five work days.
Two values are missing. Jairo is always paid the same hourly rate.
Fill in the two missing values in the table.
(1 point)
Number of Hours Worked 2 4 7 $$ 12
Amount of Money Earned $32 $64 $$$ $176 $192
To find the missing values, we first need to determine the hourly rate that Jairo is paid. We can do this by dividing the amount of money earned by the number of hours worked for any day.
For example, for the first day:
Hourly rate = $32 / 2 hours
Hourly rate = $16 per hour
We will use this hourly rate to fill in the missing values:
For the third day:
Amount of Money Earned = Hourly Rate x Number of Hours Worked
Amount of Money Earned = $16/hour x 7 hours
Amount of Money Earned = $112
For the fourth day:
Amount of Money Earned = Hourly Rate x Number of Hours Worked
Amount of Money Earned = $16/hour x 12 hours
Amount of Money Earned = $192
Therefore, the missing values are:
Number of Hours Worked: 7
Amount of Money Earned: $112
