Another one pleasd help. Paula charges an hourly rate for babysitting. Last month she worked 12 hours babysitting and earned $81. What does Paula earn per hour?

She charges $6.75 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

If she charges an hourly rate, the number of hours should be multiplied by the hourly rate to get the total amount of money earned.

Variable x = hourly rate

The equation should be set up as:

12x = 81

This equation says 12 hours times the hourly rate equals $81

How we solve is by isolating the variable

To isolate the variable, we divide both sides by 12

12x ÷ 12 = 81 ÷ 12

1x = 6.75

x = 6.75

Her hourly rate is $6.75

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.
