\end{tabular}



Answer :

Sure! Let's help Brianna complete the table by calculating her earnings for different numbers of hours and finding the hours required for certain earnings.

1. Calculate Earnings for 5 Hours:
Brianna earns \[tex]$12 per hour. For 5 hours, \[ \text{Earnings} = 5 \times 12 = \$[/tex]60
\]

2. Calculate Hours for \[tex]$72: If she earns \$[/tex]72 and she is paid \[tex]$12 per hour, to find the number of hours: \[ \text{Hours} = \frac{72}{12} = 6 \text{ hours} \] 3. Calculate Earnings for 7 Hours: For working 7 hours, \[ \text{Earnings} = 7 \times 12 = \$[/tex]84
\]

4. Calculate Hours for \[tex]$96: If she earns \$[/tex]96 and she is paid \[tex]$12 per hour, to find the number of hours: \[ \text{Hours} = \frac{96}{12} = 8 \text{ hours} \] Now we can fill in the table: \begin{tabular}{|c|c|} \hline Hours & Earnings \\ \hline 5 & \$[/tex]60 \\
\hline 6 & \[tex]$72 \\ \hline 7 & \$[/tex]84 \\
\hline 8 & \$96 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

Brianna's earnings and corresponding hours are now complete in the table.
