Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the amount worker 2 would be paid for weeks of work, we need to determine the pay rate of worker 1 and then apply it to worker 2.

The pay rate of worker 1 is found by dividing their earnings ($114) by the number of weeks worked (3): $114 ÷ 3 = $<<114/3=38>>38 per week.

Now, we can apply the pay rate of worker 1 to worker 2. If worker 2 works for x weeks, their pay would be x * $38.

Since we don't know the specific number of weeks for worker 2, we cannot determine the exact amount they would be paid. Therefore, the answer cannot be determined from the information given.

Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

To find out how much worker 2 would be paid for weeks of work if they earned a proportional pay rate, we need to determine the pay rate for worker 1.

The pay rate for worker 1 can be found by dividing the amount earned ($114) by the number of weeks worked (3).

Pay rate for worker 1 = $114 / 3 weeks = $38 per week

Now, we can find out the amount worker 2 would be paid for weeks of work by multiplying the pay rate by the number of weeks.

Worker 2's pay = $38 per week * number of weeks

Since the number of weeks is not given, we cannot determine the exact amount that worker 2 would be paid. Thus, none of the provided options (A. $152, B. $342, C. $118, D. $38) is the correct answer.

To find out how much worker 2 would be paid for the weeks of work, we need to determine the pay rate per week.

First, we find the pay rate per week for worker 1 by dividing their total earnings of $114 by the number of weeks worked, which is 3 weeks:
Pay rate per week = Total earnings / Number of weeks
Pay rate per week = $114 / 3 = $38

Since worker 2 earns a proportional pay rate, we can use the pay rate per week of worker 1 to calculate the total earnings for worker 2:
Total earnings for worker 2 = Pay rate per week x Number of weeks

Total earnings for worker 2 = $38 x Number of weeks

To determine the amount worker 2 would be paid for weeks of work, we need to plug in the given answer choices and see which one gives us a valid calculation.

Let's check the options:
A. $152: If we substitute $152 for the total earnings for worker 2, we have the equation:
$152 = $38 x Number of weeks
Dividing both sides by $38, we get:
Number of weeks = 4

Since worker 2 would be paid for more than 3 weeks, option A is incorrect.

B. $342: If we substitute $342 for the total earnings for worker 2, we have the equation:
$342 = $38 x Number of weeks
Dividing both sides by $38, we get:
Number of weeks = 9

Since worker 2 would be paid for more than 3 weeks, option B is incorrect.

C. $118: If we substitute $118 for the total earnings for worker 2, we have the equation:
$118 = $38 x Number of weeks
Dividing both sides by $38, we get:
Number of weeks = 3.105

Since worker 2 would be paid for more than 3 weeks, option C is incorrect.

D. $38: If we substitute $38 for the total earnings for worker 2, we have the equation:
$38 = $38 x Number of weeks
Dividing both sides by $38, we get:
Number of weeks = 1

Since worker 2 would be paid for the same number of weeks as worker 1, option D is the correct answer.

Therefore, worker 2 would be paid $38 for weeks of work if they earned a proportional pay rate.
