A worker earns $6.25 per hour. For how many hours would the worker have to work to earn $300 ?

Answer: 48

Work: You have to use division, however you are dealing with a decimal so here's a simple trick when you encounter this again, multiply the decimal by 100. (6.25=625) now do the same with the 300, (30,000) now try dividing that, and you get 48. It's actually the same answer with the decimal.

She would have to work 48 hours to earn $300.

Step-by-step explanation:

If she makes $6.25 an hour, and she want to know how many hours she need to work to earn $300, then this is an equation.

6.25x = 300 | Divide both sides by 6.25

x = 48
