Question

The total cost to rent a row boat is $14 times the number of hours the boat is used. Write an equation to model this situation if c = total cost and h = number of hours.

Answer 1

14h = c

If c = the total cost, then the equation should end with "= c" because we're trying to find the total cost of renting a row boat.

If the row boat is $14 per hour, that's 14 x hours, or 14h.

Therefore, 14h = c.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Explanation:

c= 14h

Because the cost IS (=, dependent on) 14$ TIMES the number of hours (; 14h is represented).
