Answer 1

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

Explanation:

Find the cost per hour for Gym B:

We are given the cost per 5 minutes, and there are 60 minutes in an hour. This means to find the cost per hour, the cost per 5 minutes has to be multiplied by 12.

0.75(12)

= 9

So, this means Gym B's cost per hour is $9

So, D is correct, because both Gym A and B charge $9 per hour.
