Answer:

Rob will earn $157.5 in 6 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation :

Rob babysits everyday for 1.5 hours.

For 1 hour he earns $3.5

He babysits the kid for 5 days a week after school.

We have to find how much money he will earn in 6 weeks time.

Everyday he would earn [tex]$3.5 \times [/tex]1.5 = $5.25

Every week he will earn [tex] $5.25\times 5[/tex] = $26.25

Rob babysits for 6 weeks , so he will earn [tex]26.25\times [/tex]6 =$157.5

Rob will earn $157.5 in 6 weeks.
