Betty earns $15 per hour at her job. Her
husband earns a weekly salary of $90, but he
only earns $12 per hour. How many hours
must Betty work to make the same as her
husband?
Well, her husband has to work 7 and a half hours in order to receive that $90 a week. Therefore, Betty would have to work 6 hours in order to make the same amount of money as her husband.
