Answer:

Gym B and Gym A charge the same hourly rate for childcare

Explanation:

Given,

In gym A,

Hourly charges = $ 9.00

While, In gym B,

Charges for 5 minutes = $ 0.75

So, the charges for 1 minute = [tex]\frac{\text{Charges for 5 minutes}}{5}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{0.75}{5}[/tex]

[tex]=\$ 0.15[/tex]

∵ 1 hour = 60 minutes,

Thus, the charges for 1 hour = 60 × charges for 1 minute,

= 60 × 0.15

= $ 9.00

Hence, the charges in gym A = charges in gym B,

∴ Gym B and Gym A charge the same hourly rate for childcare
