Answer:
3 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
$12 = 2hours
Find how much Clare was paid for one hour
Total money earned ÷ number of hours = wage per hour
12 ÷ 2 = $6 per hour
set up equation
6x = 18
This equation says 6 dollars an hour × number of hours = $18
To solve for this equation, divide both sides by 6 (this isolates the variable)
6x ÷ 6 = 18 ÷ 6
1x = 3
x = 3
