John and Maria are spending the afternoon hiking in the desert. They purchased 6 bottles of water for $9.00, two protein bars for $5.00, and some peanuts for $3.00 as a snack. Suppose they star hiking at 11.30 A.M. and finish the hike at 3.45 P.M. What is the unit rate of money spent to hours hiked? Show your work.

money spent : 9 + 5 + 3 = 17
hours hiked : 11:30 to 3:45 = 4 hr 15 min = 60 * 4 + 15 = 255 minutes

17/255 = 0.066 rounds to $ 0.07 cents per minute
