Answer:

D.)Gym B and Gym A charge the same hourly rate for childcare.

Explanation:

You need to find out how much Gym B charges for a full hour. There are 60 minutes in an hour. Divide this by 5 to determine how many 5 minute increments are in an hour: 12. A parent paying for 1 hour of child care will need to make 12 payments of .75. 12 times .75 equals $9.00. This means that both gyms charge the same amount per hour.
