Question

Crystal earns $5.25 per hour mowing lawns. Write a rule to describe how the amount of money m earned is a function of the number of hours h spent mowing lawns. How much does Crystal earn if she works 2 hours and 15 minutes?

Answer 1

Your function would be m = 5.25h, which means that amount of money she earns, m, depends upon the number of hours she works, h, at 5.25 an hour.

Answer 2

If she works 2 hours and 15 minutes, she works 2.25 hours (15 minutes is a quarter of an hour and .25 signifies this). So let's fill 2.25 hours in for h and see what we get for m.

Answer 3

m = 5.25(2.25)
m = 11.81
