Answer 1

Bart's bikes. by 50 cents

Answer 2

Ace bike hourly rate is $3.5 per hour

Bart bike hourly rate is $3.0 per hour

It is lower by rate $0.5 per hour

Explanation:

Ace bike:

Ace bike rentals rents bikes for $28 per day

Rental price =$28

Renters can keep the bike for 8 hours

so, total time in a day =8 hours

now, we can find hourly rate

hourly rate = (Rental price)/( total time in a day)

now, we can plug values

hourly rate is

`=(28)/(8)`

=$3.5 per hour

Bart bike:

Bart bike rentals rents bikes for $30 per day

Rental price =$30

Renters can keep the bike for 10 hours

so, total time in a day =10 hours

now, we can find hourly rate

hourly rate = (Rental price)/( total time in a day)

now, we can plug values

hourly rate is

`=(30)/(10)`

=$3 per hour

so, changed hourly rate

=Ace hourly rate - Bart hourly rate

we can plug values

`=3.5-3`

`=0.5`

So, it is lower by rate $0.5 per hour
