Luz earns $400 for 40 hours of work. Use a ratio table to determine how much she earns for 6 hours of work.

Asked by danielruth61

Answer (3)

she earns $ 60 for 6 hours of work ; For this case we can make the following rule of three:
$ 400 -------------------> 40 hours
x ------------------------> 6 hours
From here, we clear the value of x.
We have then:
[ x = (\frac{6}{40}) * (400)
x = 60 ]
Therefore, Luz earns $ 60 for 6 hours of work.

To work out how much Luz earns, you simply have to follow 400/40=10, so she earns $10/hour. We can therefore establish that if she works for 6 hours, she'll earn $60.
