Hello There!

First we have to see how much does Gigi earns per hour.

For gardening, we are going to divide.

65 : 5 ≈ 13

Gigi earns $13 for gardening for only 1 hour.

Second, we have to see how much Gigi earns per hour for office work.

We will divide

90 : 9 ≈ 10

Now, we can see that Gigi earned $3 more per hour for gardening than for office work.
