Answer ive been waiting for an hour rachel earned 34 in 4 hours at her job today she wants to know how much she could earn (e) tommorow if she works 10 hours at the same hourly rate a. e/34 = 4/10 b. 34/4 = e/10 solve the proportion to determine how much rachel will earn in 10 hours.

The correct equation of proportions would be $34                             x
                                                                          .  Set this = to
                                                                          4 hr                          10 hr

$34           x
 =    Cross multiply:  ($34)(10 hr) = 4(hr)x
 4 hr         10 hr                                                                

Cancel "hr" on both sides.  Then $340 = 4x, and x = $85.

She could earn $85 working 10 hours.
