The mistake that jeremy made is that the cost renting is not $7.00 for hour, it is $7.00 for two hours.

What is Unitary method?

The unitary method is a technique for solving a problem by first finding the value of a single unit, and then finding the necessary value by multiplying the single unit value

Given:

The table is attached below

Jeremy said the cost bike renting for an hour is $7.00. But looking at the table the difference between two consecutive cost is $7.00 not in the gap of 1 hour in fact in gap of 2 hours.

It means that the the cost of bike renting $7.00 is for 2 hours.

For an hour the cost for renting bike will be,

=7/2

=3.5 hours.

Hence, the cost of bike renting is 3.5 hours per hour.
