Answer:

7 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Reuben works for 11 hours to earn $187

This means, his earnings rate is $187 per 11 hours of work

In 1 hour he would earn = 187/ 11 = $17

Therefore, he earns $17 in 1 hour

To find out how many hours he has to work to make $119, we multiply this by the rate.

He will earn $119 in = $119 x (1 hour/ $17) = 7 hours

Reuben has to work 7 hours to make $119
