Question

Joshua is going kayaking with a group during one of his vacation days. In his vacation planning, he budgeted $50 for a kayak rental. How can Joshua determine the number of hours he can rent a kayak for himself?

Answer 1

Answer: Divide Kayak budget by rental rate

Step-by-step Explanation:

As Joshua is renting for himself alone, the two available options would be the Single Kayak and the Single Sea Kayak.

He can determine the number of hours to rent a Kayak for by dividing his Kayak Budget by the rental rate per hour of the 2 options available to him.

Single Kayak

Budget available = $50

Rental rate = $15 per hour

Hours he can rent = 50/15

= 3.33 hours

Single Sea Kayak

Budget available = $50

Rental rate = $18 per hour

Hours he can rent = 50/18

= 2.78 hours
