To get Saturday’s earnings, multiply hourly rate by number of hours:
9 * 1.25 = $11.25
To get number of lots, divide total amount of land by amount per lot:
47 1/2 divided by 2 1/2
Convert to improper fractions:
47 * 2 + 1 = 94 + 1 = 95 so 95/2
2 * 2 + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5 so 5/2
95/2 divided by 5/2 equals
95/2 times 2/5
95 * 2 = 190
2 * 5 = 10
190/10 = 19 lots
