To determine Earl's rate of pay per hour, we need to calculate how much he earns per hour.
Step 1: Calculate the number of lawns Earl can cut in one hour.
Since it takes Earl 45 minutes to cut one lawn, we can calculate how many lawns he can cut in one hour.
One hour is equal to 60 minutes. So, we divide 60 minutes by 45 minutes to find out how many times he can cut one lawn in an hour.
60 minutes ÷ 45 minutes = 1.33 lawns
Therefore, Earl can cut approximately 1.33 lawns in one hour.
Step 2: Calculate Earl's earnings per hour.
Earl earns $9.00 per lawn, so we multiply the number of lawns he can cut in one hour by his earnings per lawn.
1.33 lawns × $9.00 = $11.97
Therefore, Earl's rate of pay per hour is approximately $11.97.
