Jeanine earns $$5.00$ an hour babysitting her neighbor’s three children.

1. How much will Jeanine earn if she starts at 7:30 p.m. and ends at 12:30 a.m.?

   Hint (a):

   How many hours did Jeanine work? $$5.00$(number of hours) = total earnings

2. How much will she earn if she starts at 10:30 a.m. and ends at 2:00 p.m.?

   Hint (b):

   Jeanine worked $3.5$ hours.

3. One day, Jeanine earned $$37.50$. How many hours did she work?

   Hint (c):

   $\frac{37.50}{5}=?$

   Can you do this in your head? $$2.50$ is half of $$5.00$. $$35.00$ is $$2.50$ less than $$37.50$.
