Answer:
It will take Molly 1 hour to catch up to Jonas.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Molly starts riding her bike to school 20 minutes after her brother Jonas does, and Molly pedals 12 miles per hour, and Jonas pedals 9 miles per hour, to determine how much time will it take for Molly to catch up to Jonas the following calculation has to be done:
Jonas = 9 miles per 60 minutes = 3 miles per 20 minutes
Molly = 12 miles for 60 minutes
Jonas = 3 miles + 9 = 12
Molly = 12
Therefore, it will take Molly 1 hour to catch up to Jonas.
It will take them 5 Hours to charge the same. The rental charge will be 510.
I did a manual computation per company: My computation is entirely based on trial and error.
Red Bus Co. has a fixed rental rate of 150 and additional rental of 72 per hour while Blue Bus Co. has a fixed rental rate of 240 and additional rental of 54 per hour. Both fixed rental rate are one time charges only and total rental will vary on the number of hours spent in using both vehicles.
Let's start with the Red Bus Co. I will be posting the charges per hour and its running balance. The running balance is the sum.
Fixed Rate 150 Running Balance: 150 => 150 + 0
Hr 1 72 222 => 150 + 72
Hr 2 72 294 => 222 + 72
Hr 3 72 366 => 294 + 72
Hr 4 72 438 => 366 + 72
Hr 5 72 510 => 438 + 72
I'll do the same process with Blue Bus Co.
Fixed Rate 240 Running Balanc: 240 => 240 + 0
Hr 1 54 294 => 240 + 54
Hr 2 54 348 => 294 + 54
Hr 3 54 402 => 348 + 54
Hr 4 54 456 => 402 + 54
Hr 5 54 510 => 456 + 54
