We are given the following dа ta:

Frank's furters $5.67 / hr

Harriet's hair styles $80 for 15 hours weekly

Babysitting $250 a month for 10 hours after school a week

To be able to correctly compare which has the highest pay, we must convert all pays in terms of per hour.

Frank’s furthers = $5.67 / hr (no need to convert)

Harriet's hair styles = $80 / 15 hrs = $5.33 / hr

Babysitting = ($250 / month) (1 month / 4 weeks) (1 week / 10 hrs) = $6.25 / hr

Therefore babysitting has the highest hourly pay at $6.25 / hr
