3.50x
To figure out how long it takes Juan to make $15, we need to divide the total amount he earns ($15) by the rate at which he charges per hour ($3.50).
Divide $15 by $3.50:
$15 ÷ $3.50 = 4.28 (approximately)
This means that Juan will approximately take about 4.28 hours to make $15. Since we can't have a fraction of an hour, we can round it to the nearest whole number.
Hence, it will take Juan approximately 4 hours to make $15.
