Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anna is paid a fixed amount per bag, which is a fixed-ratio schedule because the payment is based on the number of bags raked, not the time spent. Jamie is paid by the hour, regardless of how much work is done in that hour, which is a fixed-interval schedule because the payment is based on the passage of time.
