Yoko paid $14 for renting a canoe starting from 13 00. What would be the latest time she must return the canoe to the shop?
Amount that Yoko paid for all the additional
12 hours
= 14 - 6.50
= $7.50
Number of sets of additional
12 hours
= 7.50 ÷ 2.50
= 3
Total additional time that Yoko paid for
= 3 x
12= 1
12 h
Total time that Yoko paid for
= 1 + 1
12= 2
12 h
2
12 h after 13 00 = 15 30
Latest time that Yoko must return the canoe to the shop: 15 30
Answer(s): 15 30
