Answer:

Rani can use the rented canoe for  [tex]h\leq 2\frac{2}{3}[/tex]  hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Rani has at most $20 to spend on a canoe rental.

To rent a canoe $12.To use the canoe cost $3 an hour.

The number of hours is [tex]h.[/tex]

Now, to find [tex]h[/tex] the number of hours rani can use the rented canoe.

Total money Rani has at most to spend = $20.

The rent of a canoe = $12.

The cost of using canoe per hour = $3.

According to question:

Now, to find the number of hours rani can use the rented canoe:

[tex]3h+12\leq 20[/tex]

Subtracting both sides by 12 we get:

[tex]3h\leq 8[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 3 we get:

[tex]h\leq \frac{8}{3}[/tex]

[tex]h\leq 2\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Therefore, Rani can use the rented canoe for  [tex]h\leq 2\frac{2}{3}[/tex] hours.
