What is unit rate?

A unit rate means a rate for one of something. We write this as a ratio with a denominator of one. For example, if you ran 70 yards in 10 seconds, you ran on average 7 yards in 1 second. Both of the ratios, 70 yards in 10 seconds and 7 yards in 1 second, are rates, but the 7 yards in 1 second is a unit rate.

Given that, Phillip earns $11.25 per hour. During Week 1, he worked h hours. During Week 2, he worked 8 hours more than Week 1. Phillip earned $540 for both weeks,

The unit rate for the work of Phillip is given, $11.25 per hour.

Therefore, his earning for h hours = $11.25h

For (8+h) hours = $11.25(h+8)

Since, he earned $540 for both weeks,

Therefore,

11.25(h+8) + 11.25h = 540

11.25h + 90 + 11.25h = 540

22.5h = 450

h = 20

h+8 = 28

Hence, Phillip worked for 20 hours and 28 hours in 1 and 2 weeks respectively.

Answer:

2,160 Hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so usual i would split $540 in half so a number multiplied by two would end up as 540, and i got 270. So since each week we know Phillip earned $270 and $11.25 a hour, we can divide 270 by 11.25, which gives us $24, so that means h = 24, but on week 2 it says Phillip worked 8 hours more on week 2, so that gives us a equation of 8 x 11.25, which comes out to 90, so now we can move on to our final equation, 90 x 24, which equals 2160. Im so sorry if this is wrong
