You clean a community park for 6.5 hours. You earn $42.25. How much do you earn per hour?

To find how much you earn per hour, divide your total earnings by the number of hours worked.

\[
\text{Hourly earnings} = \frac{\text{Total earnings}}{\text{Hours worked}} = \frac{42.25}{6.5}
\]

Now let's calculate it:

\[
\text{Hourly earnings} = 6.5
\]

You earn $6.50 per hour.
