Answer:
A) [tex]m=8.65h[/tex]
B) $29.58
Step-by-step explanation:
Earnings per hour = $8.65
To find:
A) Write a rule for money m as a function of the number of hours h spent mowing lawns.
Earnings done in one hour = $8.65
Number of hours = [tex]h[/tex]
To find the total earnings, [tex]m[/tex] as a function of number of hours [tex]h[/tex], we need to multiply per hour earnings with number of hours [tex]h[/tex].
Therefore, the equation is:
[tex]m=8.65h[/tex]
B) How much does Robert earn if she works 3 hours and 25 minutes?
First of all, let us convert 3 hours and 25 minutes to hours.
3 hours 25 minutes = 3.42 hours
Therefore, total earnings are:
[tex]m = 8.65\times 3.42 = \$29.58[/tex]
