Question

jasmine opens a roller skate rental booth at the park every saturday. the graph below shows the number of skates she has available throughout the day. she starts with a full rack of 20 skates at 10:00 a.m. and ends her shift at 6:00 p.m. skates available throughout the day question 2 2 points if the graph remains constant between 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m., what does that tell you about skate rentals during that time? jasmine was renting skates every 10 minutes. the booth was out of skates and couldnt rent more. jasmine returned all the skates to the rack. no one rented or returned skates during that time.

Explanation:

A constant graph means no change in the number of skates available. If no one rents (which would decrease the number) or returns (which would increase the number) skates, the number available remains the same.

• If Jasmine was renting every 10 minutes (first option), the number of skates available would decrease, so the graph would not be constant.
• If the booth was out of skates (second option), the number of skates available would be \(0\), but here it's \(12\).
• If Jasmine returned all skates (third option), the number of skates available would increase (if she had rented some before), but the graph is constant at \(12\) (not increasing to \(20\) which was the starting full - rack number).

Answer:

No one rented or returned skates during that time.
