Answer :

Answer:

The correct option is (d).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Jeff earns $14.00 per hour.

Tom earns half as much as Jeff.

We need to find the amount earn by Tom per hour.

Tom's amount = Jeff's amount/2

So,

[tex]T=\dfrac{14}{2}\\\\T=\$7[/tex]

So, Tom earn $7 per hour. Hence, division operation is used. Jeff's amount is divided by 2.
