Question

the total cost to rent a row boat is $18 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. h = 18c c=h/18 c = 18h c – 18 = h

Answer 1

The equation to model this situation is c = $18h .

Explanation:

As given

The total cost to rent a row boat is $18 times the number of hours the boat is used.

c = Total cost .

h = Number of hours.

Thus

Total cost to rent a row boat = $18 × Number of hours the boat is used.

Put all the values in the above

c = $18 × h

c = $18h

Therefore the equation to model this situation is c = $18h .

Answer 2

The total cost of rental of row boat is the product of the price per hour and number of the hours it was rented. If this number of hours is represented by h, the equation that models this situation is,
c = 18h
Thus, the answer is the third choice.
