Question

Rani has at most $20 to spend on a canoe rental. To rent a canoe $12.To use the canoe cost $3 an hour. Write an inequality that can be used to find h,the number of hours rani can use the rented canoe.

Answer 1

Rani can use the rented canoe for
`h\leq 2(2)/(3)` hours.

Explanation:

Given:

Rani has at most $20 to spend on a canoe rental.

To rent a canoe $12.To use the canoe cost $3 an hour.

The number of hours is
`h.`

Now, to find
`h` the number of hours rani can use the rented canoe.

Total money Rani has at most to spend = $20.

The rent of a canoe = $12.

The cost of using canoe per hour = $3.

According to question:

Now, to find the number of hours rani can use the rented canoe:

`3h+12\leq 20`

Subtracting both sides by 12 we get:

`3h\leq 8`

Dividing both sides by 3 we get:

`h\leq (8)/(3)`

`h\leq 2(2)/(3)`

Therefore, Rani can use the rented canoe for
`h\leq 2(2)/(3)` hours.
