Miles rental rate was %2818%2F%285-2%29%29%28miles%2Fhour%29=6 miles/hour.

For the other rate, WHERE IS THE MONEY?

The money might be at $24. This makes the money per mile rate as 24%2F18=%283%2A8%29%2F%283%2A6%29=4%2F3=highlight%281%261%2F3%29 dollars per mile.

The dollars per hour rate would be 24%2F3=highlight%288%29 dollars per hour.
