y = 16h is the equation that represents the situation, where "y" is the total cost to rent and "h" is the number of hours
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>Given that, cost y to rent an off road vehicle is proportional to the time that you rent it
Let "y" be the cost to rent the road vehicle
Let "h" be the number of hours rented for
Then, by given statement,
-------- eqn 1
Where "k" is the constant of proportionality
<em><u>Given that it costs $ 48 to rent it for 3 hours</u></em>
Therefore, y = 48 and h = 3
<em><u>Substitute k = 16 in eqn 1</u></em>
Thus y = 16h is the equation that represents the situation
