Answers & Comments
Answer:
Kaylee worked Three (3) hours walking dogs and Five (5) hours landscaping.
Step-by-step explanation:
How I came up with this answer, I simply did trial and error (took 2 mins)
13 x 5 = 65 >> 5 hours landscaping.
Then I added 6 again and again until I got 83 as a total. (though you could just subtract 65 from 83 to get the answer and see if it's divisible by 6.)
6 x 3 = 18 >> 3 hours walkimg dogs
18 + 65 = 83 which is the total from last week.
