Explanation:

Step1: Define known values

Total earnings: $\$1488$, Hourly wage: $\$12$

Step2: Calculate work hours

To find the number of hours, divide total earnings by hourly wage:
$$\frac{1488}{12} = 124$$

Step3: Draft explanation sentence

Frame the division as a real-world context.

We divide the total amount Alanah earned by her hourly pay rate to find out how many hours she worked. This works because total earnings equal hourly wage multiplied by hours worked, so reversing the operation uses division.

Sentence:

To determine how many hours Alanah worked, we divide her total earnings of $\$1,488$ by her hourly wage of $\$12$.

Final Numeric Answer:

124 hours

Answer:

Work:

$\frac{1488}{12} = 124$
