C. 5 hours

5 + 8 = 15

15 * 5 = 75

15 * 4 = 60

The correct answer is B. The greatest number of hours you can spend raking and still make at least $ 68.00 is 4 hours.

Given that you can earn money by babysitting for $ 8.00 per hour and by raking leaves for $ 7.00 per hour, and you have 9 hours available to work, to determine what is the greatest number of hours you can spend raking and still make at least $ 68.00, you must perform the following calculation:

  • 3 x 7 + 6 x 8 = 21 + 48 = 69
  • 4 x 7 + 5 x 8 = 28 + 40 = 68
  • 5 x 7 + 4 x 8 = 35 + 32 = 67
  • 6 x 7 + 3 x 8 = 42 + 24 = 66

Therefore, the greatest number of hours you can spend raking and still make at least $ 68.00 is 4 hours.
