Question

kevin has $26 wants to rent bicycle.The bicycle rents for $6.25per hour. How many hours can kevin ride without owing more money than he has.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Kevin only has $26 and the bicycle rends for $6.25 per hours this means that:

6.25h ≤ 26

Where h represents hours $6.25 is the slope (rate) at which Kevin is being charged and $26 is the amount of money he has.

By solving for the inequality above we obtain:

$6.25h\leq 26\\\\\fra{6.25h}{6.25}\leq \frac{26}{6.25}\\\\h\leq4.16$

This means that Kevin can ride the bike for less than or equal to 4.16 hours.  Now that means 4 hours and 16% of an hour, let's calculate what 16% of an hour is equal to.  Since we know that there are 60 minutes in an hour and 16% is 0.16 (since 16÷100=0.16) in decimals we obtain:

60×0.16=9.6 minutes

This means 9 minutes and 60% of a minute, so we will calculate how much is 60% of a minute:

60×.6=36 seconds

Therefore, Kevin can ride this bike for less than or equal to 4 hours 9 minutes and 36 seconds.

Answer 2

Answer:

I got 4 hours and 16 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

I divided the amount of money he has ($26) to the amount it takes to rent for one hour ($6.25). To make it more simple you could just say 4 hours worth of rent.
