Question

The cost of rent a construction crane is 1500$ per day plus 250$ per hour of use. Write and solve an equality that can be used to determine maximum number of hours h the crane can be used if the rental cost for 1 day.

A) 1500+250h≤2500
B) 1500+250h≥2500
C) 1500−250h≥2500
D) 1500×250h≤2500

Answer 1

To determine the maximum number of hours the crane can be used, we set up the inequality 1500 + 250h ≤ 2500.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the maximum number of hours the crane can be used, we need to set up an inequality using the given information.

The cost of renting the crane for 1 day is $1500 plus $250 per hour. Let's represent the number of hours as 'h'.

The rental cost for 1 day can be written as 1500 + 250h. We want to find the maximum number of hours, so we need to find the value of 'h' that makes the rental cost equation less than or equal to $2500.

Therefore, the correct inequality is 1500 + 250h ≤ 2500, which corresponds to option A.
