Answer 1

Answer: 4.5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an inequality with the information given;

Cost: 30h+65 (h= hours)

So, the cost must be less or equal to the money that Brianna can spend.(200)

Mathematically speaking:

30h+65 ≤ 200

Solving for h

30h≤ 200 -65

30h ≤ 135

h ≤ 135/30

h≤ 4.5

She can rent the boat for 4.5 hours.

Answer 2

Answer:

4 hours
