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.
question 1
between 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m., the graph shows the number of skates available is steadily decreasing. what does this most likely mean?
the park is closing.
fewer people are arriving at the park.
jasmine is renting out skates to more people.
jasmine is adding more skates to the rack.

Explanation:

When the number of skates available is steadily decreasing, it means that the skates are being taken out. Since it's a rental booth, the most logical reason for skates being taken out is that they are being rented. If the park was closing (first option), the number of skates available might not just steadily decrease. If fewer people are arriving (second option), the number of skates available might not decrease steadily. If she was adding more skates (fourth option), the number of skates available would increase, not decrease.

Answer:

Jasmine is renting out skates to more people.
