Drew painted his uncle's barn on saturday. it took him 4 hours to paint the whole barn, and his uncle paid him 112 dollars for his work. what was drew's pay rate, in dollars per hour?

You're trying to find the amount Drew got paid in dollars per hour.

Using the information that you have, being 4 hours and $112 total, it's 4x=112.

4x=112

x=112/4

x=28

Drew's pay rate is $28 per hour.

type of error:

the error in the sentence is a "dangling modifier". a dangling modifier is a phrase, word or clause that "dangles" because there is not target to modify. in this case, "after mopping the floor" is the dangling modifier since it has no word to modify. the noun "house" cannot mop the floor; therefore there is a mistake in the writing of the sentence.

the correct answer is video games and fast food.

hope this (:
