Bria Waters · Answer 1

9 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We can make a proportion and solve

She makes $306 for 17 hours of work, and she makes $162 for x hours of work

306/17=162/x

Cross multiply

306*x=17*162

306x=2754

Now we need to solve for x, by getting x by itself. x is being multiplied by 306; to undo this, divide both sides by 306

306x/306=2754/306

x=9

So, she needs to work 9 hours to make $162
