Maria plans to rent a boat. The boat rental costs $60 per hour, and she will also have to pay for a water safety course that costs $10. Maria wants to spend no more than $280 for the rental and the course. If the boat rental is available only for a whole number of hours, what is the maximum number of hours for which Maria can rent the boat? (Hint: set up a linear inequality and solve for the number of hours)

Maria can rent the boat for 4 hours

Explanation:

Given:

Rental cost per hour = $60

Safety course cost = $10

Total rental cost = $60 + $10

                         = $70

Total amount to be spent = $280

Number of hours, n = ?

According to the question,

60n + 10 <= 280

60n <= 280 - 10

60n <= 270

n <= 4.5

However for whole number of hours, n = 4

Therefore, Maria can rent the boat for 4 hours

step-by-step explanation:

x = central angle apc = measure of minor arc ac

the two angles x and 30 add to 180, so x+30 = 180 and x = 180-30 = 150. the measure of minor arc ac is 150 degrees.

what we need to do from here is find the circumference and then multiply it by x/360 since there are 360 degrees in a circle. in this case, x = 150, so x/360 = 150/360 = 15/36 = 5/12. the shortest distance along the curve from a to c is 5/12 of the distance around the entire circle (aka circumference)

c = circumference

c = pi*d

c = pi*24

c = 24pi

now multiply this by 5/12 to get

distance along minor arc ac = (5/12)*(circumference)

distance along minor arc ac = (5/12)*(24pi)

distance along minor arc ac = 10pi

the formula you can use is

l = (x/360)*pi*d

with

l = length of minor arc

x = central angle

d = diameter

which essentially is the steps we took though a bit differently.
