Answer 1

Explanation:

=8ℎ

is the correct equation that models the situation.

In this equation, "c" represents the total cost and "h" represents the number of hours of bike rental. The given information is that the park charges $8 per hour to rent a bike, so the cost "c" is proportional to the number of hours "h" of bike rental.

The equation shows that the cost is equal to 8 multiplied by the number of hours, where 8 is the cost per hour. In other words, c = 8h
