Answer:they would pay a total amount of $9

Step-by-step explanation:

Scott and Tom rent a boat at Stow Lake. They start at 10:15 and end at 11:45. The number of hours for which they rented the boat would be

11:45 - 10:15 = 1 hour 30 minutes = 1.5 hours.

Converting to minutes, It becomes

60 + 30 = 90 minutes.

The boat rental costs $1.50 for every 15 minutes. Therefore, the total amount of money that they would pay is

90/15 * 1.5 = $9
