Angus · Answer 1

So the amount of charge multiplied by 6

Ronan Barnes · Answer 2

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.

So, if Michael rented a the bike for 5.5 hours, it will be rounded to 6 hours.

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