Hi,
takes Kurt twice as long to earn $60  as it takes Paul to earn $40 
Let x represent Paul's time 
Question states*** 
Kurt: {{{2xp[K] = 60}}} or {{{p[K] = 60/2x}}}
Paul: {{{xp[P] = 40}}}  or {{{p[P] = 40/x}}}
ratio of Kurt's pay per hour to Paul's pay per hour
 {{{(60/2x)/(40/x) = 60/80 = 3/4}}}
