step-by-step explanation:

ex. 2/4   (2x2 = 4)

ex. 8/16 (8x2 = 16)

ex. 1/2 (1x2 = 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h be the number of hours.

We have been given that Franco earns $8 per hour at his after-school job, so the amount earned after working h hours will be 8h.

Last week, he received a paycheck of more than $168. This means that the amount earned for h hours will be greater than 168.

We can represent this information in inequality as:

Let us divide both sides of our inequality by 8.

Therefore, Franco should have worked more than 21 hours.
