If 5 cleaners took 4 hours and 30 min. to clean the whole rooms in a hotel and there's only 3 cleaners, it would take them 6 hours and 30 min. why? because 5 cleaners = 4 hours and 30 min. 4 cleaners = 5 hours ad 30 min. 3 cleaners = 6 hours and 30 min. Anyway so, if they were paid 8.20 for each hour you would multuply that so 8.20x6.5 = ? and then you divide the answer to 3 and thats your answer
