At a recreation center, it costs $3 per hour to

rent a ping pong table and $12 per hour to rent
a bowling lane. At the same cost as renting a
bowling lane for 2 hours, for how many hours is
it possible to rent a ping pong table?

it is possible to rent 8 ping pong tables.

This is because if you are renting a bowling lane for 2 hours you would do 12+12 and that’s 24. You would then do 24/3 cause that’s the amount of the cost for 1 hour of the ping pong to rent and that would give you and answer of 8.
Hope that’s helps:)
