Naomi has earned $54 mowing lawns over the past two days. She worked 2 1/2 hours yesterday and 4 1/4 hours today. If Naomi is paid the same amount for every hour she works, how much does she earn per hour to mow lawns?

You need to find "dollars per hour". So you need to know the total dollars and the total hours.
You already know the total dollars ... it's 54.
What are the total hours ? 2-1/2 plus 4-1/4 . Can you add those ?
Once you add up the total hours, divide ($54) divided by (total hours).
The quotient is the number of dollars she earns for each hour she works.

Naomi earned $54 over two days working a total of 4 27 ​ hours. To find her earnings per hour, we divide her total earnings by total hours worked, resulting in $8 per hour. Therefore, Naomi earns $8 for every hour she mows lawns.
