Question

fill in the table to find how much a parking meter charges for 2, 4, 6, and 8 hours. you can use the calculator to help you solve.
hours (h) | dollars (d) | dollars per hour ($\frac{d}{h}$)
2 | |
4 | |
6 | |
8 | |

Explanation:

Step1: Assume hourly rate

Assume parking meter charges $r$ dollars per hour (missing in problem, assume $r = 2$ for example, common rate).

Step2: Calculate for 2 hours

For $h = 2$, $d = r\times h = 2\times2 = 4$. $\frac{d}{h}=\frac{4}{2}=2$.

Step3: Calculate for 4 hours

For $h = 4$, $d = 2\times4 = 8$. $\frac{d}{h}=\frac{8}{4}=2$.

Step4: Calculate for 6 hours

For $h = 6$, $d = 2\times6 = 12$. $\frac{d}{h}=\frac{12}{6}=2$.

Step5: Calculate for 8 hours

For $h = 8$, $d = 2\times8 = 16$. $\frac{d}{h}=\frac{16}{8}=2$.

(Note: If actual rate is different, replace $r$. Example uses $r = 2$.)

Answer:

Hours (h)	Dollars (d)	Dollars per hour ($\frac{d}{h}$)
4	8	2
6	12	2
8	16	2
