Question

Rani has at most $20 to spend on a canoe rental. To rent a canoe $12.To use the canoe cost $3 an hour. Write an inequality that can be used to find h,the number of hours rani can use the rented canoe.

Answer 1

Answer:

Rani can use the rented canoe for  $h\leq 2\frac{2}{3}$  hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Rani has at most $20 to spend on a canoe rental.

To rent a canoe $12.To use the canoe cost $3 an hour.

The number of hours is $h.$

Now, to find $h$ the number of hours rani can use the rented canoe.

Total money Rani has at most to spend = $20.

The rent of a canoe = $12.

The cost of using canoe per hour = $3.

According to question:

Now, to find the number of hours rani can use the rented canoe:

$3h+12\leq 20$

Subtracting both sides by 12 we get:

$3h\leq 8$

Dividing both sides by 3 we get:

$h\leq \frac{8}{3}$

$h\leq 2\frac{2}{3}$

Therefore, Rani can use the rented canoe for  $h\leq 2\frac{2}{3}$ hours.
