Question

Feel makes eight dollars for each hour of work right and equation to represent the total pay after Working h hours

Answer 1

Hi Jordan! So in your problem, we see that this person makes $8 every hour they work. So lets say they worked five hours... we would add 8+8+8+8+8 (five times) which is also equal to multiplying 8x5. So in terms of your variables, to find the total pay after working h hours, we could calculate the total amount they were paid by multiplying 8xh.
