Given:
500 Kina for 18 hours of work
To determine the amount of payment if he had worked for 6 hours, we use ratio.
So,we let x be the amount of payment for 6 hours of work:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{500\text{ Kina}}{18\text{ hours}}=\frac{x}{6\text{ hours}} \\ \text{Simplify and rearrange} \\ x=\frac{500(6)}{18} \\ \text{Calculate} \\ x=166.67\text{ Kina} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, he would be paid 166.67 Kina if he had worked for six hours.
