Answer:
20 mins.
Step-by-step explanation:
A babysitter charges a rate of $15 per hour. How long was the babysitter there if she makes $5?
x = hours she babysat
Equation:
15x = 5
Divide to isolate x:
15x = 5
/15 /15
x = 1/3 hrs.
Now, we convert into minutes, since she didn't work for a whole hour, to earn the $15
We know that there are 60 mins. in an hour
60 * 1/3
60/3
20 mins.
Therefore, the babysitter was there for 20 mins.
Hope this helps!
