Fanny paid $11 for renting a snowboard starting from 13 00. What would be the latest time she must return the snowboard to the shop?
Amount that Fanny paid for all the additional
12 hours
= 11 - 3.50
= $7.50
Number of sets of additional
12 hours
= 7.50 ÷ 1.50
= 5
Total additional time that Fanny paid for
= 5 x
12= 2
12 h
Total time that Fanny paid for
= 1 + 2
12= 3
12 h
3
12 h after 13 00 = 16 30
Latest time that Fanny must return the snowboard to the shop: 16 30
Answer(s): 16 30
