6-75.
. Jeanine earns $5.00 an hour babysitting her neighbor's three children. Homework Help ✎
How much will Jeanine earn if she starts at 7:30 p.m. and ends at 12:30 a.m.?
How much will she earn if she starts at 10:30 a.m. and ends at 2:00 p.m.?
On another day, Jeanine earned $37.50. How many hours did she work?
How many hours did Jeanine work? $5.00 ( number of hours ) = total earnings
Jeanine worked 3.5 hours.
Can you do this in your head? $2.50 is half of $5.00. $35.00 is $2.50 less than $37.50.
