4. At this rate, how much would
Lin be paid for 3 hours of work?
For 2.1 hours of work?

1.) 18 would be the amount she is getting paid per hour. You can solve this by diving $90 by the 5 hours she worked to find out how much she would make per hour.

2.) it is used as a multiplier because that is the same amount she gets paid regardless of how many hours she works so it is a constant number in this equation.

3.) The table she would multiply the amount of hours she worked by 18 and that would be her amount earned.

4.) for 3 hours she would get $54. You solve this by multiplying 3 hours by $18 which she makes an hour. For 2.1 hours she would get $37.8 you would solve this by multiplying 2.1 hours by $18 which is the amount she makes per hour.

5/ 1/3=15 i think sorry if im wrong
