Question

Nina earns $60 for 5 hours of shoveling snow.

Complete each statement if Nina keeps earning her money at this same rate.

Answer 1

Nina earns $60 for 5 hours of shoveling snow.

• This means she earns 60÷ 5 = $12 for

each hour of shoveling snow.

• If Nina earns at the same rate, she gets

$120 for 10 hours of shoveling snow.

• For 15 hours ,she gets $180.

• For 20 hours, she gets $240.

• For 24 hours, she gets $12 less than $300 that is, 300-12 = 288, so she gets $288 for 24 hours of shoveling snow.
