The bike rental company has determined that they will charge based on the nearest half hour. If Michael rented a the bike for 5.5 hours how much would that cost?

The time will be rounded to 6 hours and the rent charges will be calculated on 6 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bike rental company has determined that they will charge based on the nearest half hour.

Nearest half when rounded to a whole number, becomes a number greater than the previous.

Up to 5.4, it would have been 5, but as the time is 5.5, it will be rounded to 6.

So the amount of charge multiplied by 6
