Meredith rented a bike from Bubba’s Bike Shack. They charged $2 per hour. Meredith paid $26. Which equation could be used to find h, the number of hours Meredith rented the bike?
Responses
A 2 + h = 262 + h = 26
B 26 – h = 226 – h = 2
C 2h = 262 h = 26
D 26 ÷ h = 2
The correct answer is B: 26 - h = 2
The correct equation to find h, the number of hours Meredith rented the bike, is:
C) 2h = 26
To find the correct equation for the number of hours Meredith rented the bike, we need to consider the information provided.
We know that Bubba's Bike Shack charges $2 per hour and that Meredith paid $26 in total.
Now, we can set up an equation to represent this situation. Let's use h to represent the number of hours Meredith rented the bike.
Since Meredith paid $2 for each hour, the equation should show that the total amount she paid ($26) is equal to the number of hours (h) multiplied by the cost per hour ($2):
2h = 26
Therefore, the correct equation is C: 2h = 26.
