Question

Tina worked 5 hours and earned $100. What would happen to her wages earned if she worked for 10 hours? Explain your reasoning as it relates to direct variation.

Answer 1

Answer:

She would earn $200 for working 10 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

100/5= $20 per hour

10hr multiplied by $20= $200

Answer 2

Answer:

$200 (read below for reasoning)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 5x2 is 10, we can double both 5 and 100 to get the amount of money Tina will earn in 5 hours. Since 100x2 is 200, Tina will earn $200 in 10 hours. In other words, her wage would double. I hope this helps!
