tyra's family is spending the afternoon in millersville. they plan to see a movie that is over 2 hours long and then explore the town. The movie will cost the family $36, and parking costs $4 per hour. how long will the family be able to spend in millersville if they don't have any other expenses and want to spend less than $60?

Answer 1

To determine how long Tyra's family can spend in Millersville, we need to calculate their total budget and how much they are spending on the movie and parking.

1. Total Budget: $60

2. Cost of the Movie: $36

3. Remaining Budget for Parking:

   \[ \text{Remaining Budget} = \text{Total Budget} - \text{Cost of the Movie} \] \[ \text{Remaining Budget} = 60 - 36 = 24 \]

4. Cost of Parking: $4 per hour

   To find out how many hours they can spend on parking with the remaining budget, we divide the remaining budget by the cost of parking per hour:

   \[ \text{Hours of Parking} = \frac{\text{Remaining Budget}}{\text{Cost per Hour}} \] \[ \text{Hours of Parking} = \frac{24}{4} = 6 \text{ hours} \]

5. Total Time in Millersville: Since the movie is more than 2 hours long, we add that time to the parking time to find the total time they can spend in Millersville.

   \[ \text{Total Time} = \text{Time for Movie} + \text{Time for Parking} \]

   Let's consider the minimum time for the movie as 2 hours (since it is over 2 hours, we can use 2 hours for calculation):

   \[ \text{Total Time} = 2 + 6 = 8 \text{ hours} \]

Conclusion: Tyra's family will be able to spend 8 hours in Millersville.
