Answer:

It would cost Caleb approximately $2.4 to rent kayak for 5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Caleb is renting a kayak for $14.40 per half hour.

This means he rents it for 30 minutes, as 30 minutes is half an hour.

In an equation form, we can write as:

$14.40 = 30 minutes

So that:

1 minute = $(14.50/30)

= $0.48

This mean he rents at $0.48 per minute

For 5 minutes, it would cost him:

$0.48 * 5 = $2.4 approximately.
