Let's use the variable x to represent the number of hours to make $112.
Since the number of hours and the money made are proportional, we can write the following equation:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{238}{17}=\frac{112}{x} \\ 238\cdot x=17\cdot112 \\ x=\frac{17\cdot112}{238} \\ x=8 \end{gathered}[/tex]So Ann would have to work 8 hours to make $112.
