Answer: The equation is 5x = 12.50 and you will have the canoe for 2 and half hours or 2 hours 30 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
You rent the canoe for 5 dollars per hour and that can be represented by the expression 5x. After sometime you paid $12.50 meaning that to find the number of hours that you need the canoe, we need to set 5x to equal 12.50.
5x = 12.50 Solve for x by divide both sides by 5.
x = 2.5
This means you will need the canoe for 2 and half hours.
