Answer 1

Answer:

Ace bike hourly rate is $3.5 per hour

Bart bike hourly rate is $3.0 per hour

It is lower by rate $0.5 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Ace bike:

Ace bike rentals rents bikes for $28 per day

Rental price =$28

Renters can keep the bike for 8 hours

so, total time in a day =8 hours

now, we can find hourly rate

hourly rate = (Rental price)/( total time in a day)

now, we can plug values

hourly rate is

$=\frac{28}{8}$

=$3.5 per hour

Bart bike:

Bart bike rentals rents bikes for $30 per day

Rental price =$30

Renters can keep the bike for 10 hours

so, total time in a day =10 hours

now, we can find hourly rate

hourly rate = (Rental price)/( total time in a day)

now, we can plug values

hourly rate is

$=\frac{30}{10}$

=$3 per hour

so, changed hourly rate

=Ace hourly rate - Bart hourly rate

we can plug values

$=3.5-3$

$=0.5$

So, it is lower by rate $0.5 per hour
