Question

Gigi earned $65 for 5 hours of gardening. She earned $90 for 9 hours of office work. Which statement correctly compares Gigi’s earning per hour for gardening and office work?

Answer 1

She earned $3 more per hour for office work than for gardening.
She earned $4 more per hour for office work than for gardening.
She earned $3 more per hour for gardening than for office work.
She earned $4 more per hour for gardening than for office work.

to find the hourly wage for the gardening, divide (total amount made by gardening) / (# of hours spent gardening)

similar logic for the office work

then compare the two wages and see which statement applies
