Question 898010: Please help me solve this equation, I tried and I am not very good... : You work 10 hours and earn 85$, What is your earning rate?
I've tried to solve it like this; 10hours/1$ = 85$/1hour but then I had gotten lost because it didn't look right... So I tried just dividing both by five and thought it would be easier... 2hrs=17$ so I put 1hr= $8.50 and don't know if I had done it right or not... Please help.

Question 905918: I have a problem here I have mostly figured out but stuck in one area. I need to know 9.1in sqr is equal to ? cm sqr. I know that 1in is = to 2.54cm, therefore 1in sqr is = to 6.54cm sqr. So if I multiply 9x6.45 I get 58.05cm sqr. My issue is how to work out the conversion from .1in sqr to ? cm sqr. I already know the final answer is 58.71cm sqr I just don't know how to get there.
Thank you in advance!
