I like how I learn more from a two minute video than a forty five minute class

My family is planning to donate 75 dollars to Kahn academy just as a little thank you, for supporting students who struggle financially or need a program to help. Since Kahn academy is not a math class with a plan for buying anything, the program helps so many students for topics they struggle with. Once again thank you so much, and everyone reading this comment, if you can please try to donate to Kahn academy!

It's great how watching roughly five minutes worth of videos online helps more than a whole period of math class. Thanks, Khan Academy.

This is my math question:
*Write each comparison as a rate. Then write two equivalent rates for each comparison.*

b) Miguel earns $32 dollars in 4 h.
