Question

Oceanside Bike Rental Shop charges 24 dollars plus 7 dollars an hour for renting the bike. Mike paid 49 dollars to rent a bike. How many hours did he pay to have the bike checked out?

Answer 1

Explanation:

24+7 =31 for one hour

so 49-31= 18 remaining 18/7 =2 remainder 4 so now we have 3 hrs but what about the remainder 4?

if 7 is to 60 as 4 is to x then...

7/60=4/x which will give you x=34.29 mins. so he rented the bike for 4 hours and 34.29 mins
