Answer 1

Answer:

$157.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that Rob babysits the kids next door everyday after school for 1.5 hours. He earns $3.50 an hour.

First of all we will find the amount that Rob earns for each day of babysitting by multiplying 1.5 by 3.50.  

$\text{Rob earns for each day of babysitting}=1.5\times3.5=5.25$

Let us find number of days Rob will babysit in 6 weeks by multiplying 6 by 5 as school will be in session 5 days a week the whole time.

$\text{Rob will babysit for days}=6\times5=30$  

Now let us find amount of money that  Rob will get for babysitting for 30 days by multiplying 30 by 5.25.  

$\text{Amount that Rob will earn in 6 weeks}=30\times 5.25$

$\text{Amount that Rob will earn in 6 weeks}=157.5$

Therefore, Rob will earn an amount of $157.5 for 6 weeks of babysitting.
