Question

complete each statement to describe the terms
the variable h represents: the cost per hour or the number of hours
the constant 20 represents: the initial rent price or the number of hours
the variable term 12.5h represents: the hourly rental amount or the number of hours​

Answer 1

variable h represents: hour of canoe rental

• Reason: it says in the problem that Boat word charges  $12.50 per hour. In the equation, we see '12.5h' where 12.5 represents the price per hour while h is the hour.

constant 20 represents: initial price

• Reason: the problem says that Boat charges an initial price of 20

variable term 12.5h represents: the price per hour

• Reason: it says that Boat word charges $12.50 dollars per hour which translates into '12.5 times 'h'

Hope that helps!
