Answer 1

Carla is renting a canoe. It’s cost $80 for 2 hours and $160 for 4 hours. What is the rate per hour?

If we want to get a full understanding of this question we must use the information given.

If renting the canoe cost $80 per 2 hours, to get 1 hour we must divide $80 by 2.

$\frac{80}{2}=40$

or $40

We can also use $160 and 4 hours

$\frac{160}{4}=40$

or $40

So the rate per hour is $40

Answer 2

Hello there Emilyrod100740! 

In order to find the rate per hour, we must divide the costs by the number of hours.

For 2 hours - $80 divided by 2 hours = 40 

For 4 hours - $160 divided by 4 hours = 40

This shows that the rate per hour is $40. 

I hope this helps! -Wajiha
