To find the amount worker 2 would be paid for 4 weeks of work, we can set up a proportion:
Worker 1's pay rate: $114/3 weeks = $38/week
Now we can use this rate to find worker 2's pay for 4 weeks:
Worker 2's pay rate: $38/week * 4 weeks = $152
So, worker 2 would be paid $152 for 4 weeks of work.
To find out how much worker 2 would be paid for 4 weeks of work, we can set up a proportion. Let's assume the pay rate is the same for both workers.
Worker 1 earns $114 in 3 weeks.
So, the pay rate for worker 1 is $114/3 = $38 per week.
Now, we can use this pay rate to calculate worker 2's pay.
Worker 2 would earn (pay rate) x (number of weeks) = $38 x 4 = $152
Therefore, the correct answer is $152.
To find out how much worker 2 would be paid for 4 weeks of work, we need to determine the pay rate per week for worker 1 and then multiply it by the number of weeks.
First, we need to calculate the pay rate per week for worker 1. We can do this by dividing the total earnings of worker 1 ($114) by the number of weeks worked (3):
Pay rate per week = Total earnings / Number of weeks
Pay rate per week = $114 / 3 = $38
Now that we have calculated the pay rate per week for worker 1, we can calculate the total earnings for worker 2 by multiplying the pay rate per week by the number of weeks worked (4):
Total earnings for worker 2 = Pay rate per week * Number of weeks
Total earnings for worker 2 = $38 * 4 = $152
Therefore, worker 2 would be paid $152 for 4 weeks of work.
