Answer:

2hrs. 40mins.

Step-by-step explanation:

A babysitter charges a rate of $15 per hour. How long was the babysitter there if she makes $40?

x = hours she babysat

Equation:

15x = 40

Divide to isolate x:

15x = 40

/15   /15

x = 8/3 hrs.

Now, we convert into hours and minutes, since she did work for more than an hour, to earn the $15 each hour.

We know that there are 60 mins. in an hour

60 * 8/3

480/3

160 mins.

Convert into hour and mins:

1 hr. = 60 mins

160/60 = 2 40/60 ==> 2 2/3

Convert 2/3 into mins to add to the hours:

60 * 2/3

120/3 = 40

2hrs. + 40 mins.

2hrs. and 40mins

Therefore, the babysitter was there for 2hrs. 40mins.
