✺ Explanation -:
Given:
- Jim made $143 for 11 hours of work.
To Find:
- Hours he have to work to make $91.
Solution:
We can solve this question using two methods Unitary Method and Method of proportion.
Unitary Method -
For $143 he work 11 hours
For $1 he work [tex]\dfrac{11}{143}[/tex] hrs
For $91 he works [tex]\dfrac{\cancel{11}} {\cancel{143}\: \: \cancel{13}}[/tex] × [tex]\cancel{91}\: \: 7 [/tex]hrs
= 7 hours
He must work 7 hours to get $91.

Method of proportion -
He work 'x' hours for $91. (x as no. of hrs)
[tex] \left[\begin{array}{c | c}\ \bf{Salary} & \bf{Number \: of \: hrs} \\ \sf{143 \: dollar} & \sf{11hrs} \\ \sf{91 \: dollar}& \sf{x}\end{array} \right][/tex]
143 : 91 :: 11 : x
Product of mean = Product of extreme
143 × x = 91 × 11
→ x = [tex]\dfrac{91 × 11}{143}[/tex] = 7hrs
He must work 7 hours to get $91.
