Question 986014: The rental cost of a jet ski from the keys ski rental is $15 per 15 minutes, and the cost from zephyr jet ski is $25 per half hour. If you plan to rent the jet ski for 2 hours, which is the better deal, and by how much?

15 minutes is 1/4 of an hour, so how much per hour do you pay for $15 for 15 minutes? 30 minutes is 1/2 hour, so how much per hour do you pay for $25 for 30 minutes? Once you have the values in the same time units you can make a comparison.
