2 hours of babysitting. Who earns

more per hour? How much more?

Correction

Chloe earns $41.25 for 5½ hours of babysitting

Answer:

Chloe gets $1.5 more than Marissa

Step-by-step explanation:

To get hourly rate, we devide the cumulative earnings per person by the cumulative hours worked.

Marissa

Given that Marissa earns $24 for 4 hours of

babysitting

Her hourly rate will be equivalent to $24:4hrs=$6/hr

Chloe

As provided, Chloe earns $41.25 for 5½ hours of babysitting

Chloe's hourly rate will be $41.25:5½=$7½/hr

Evidently, 7½>6 hence Chloe's rate is higher than that of Marissa. The difference in ratea is 7½-6=$1½/hr
