Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{\text{0.17 hours}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create two ratios to find how long you can use a bike for one dollar.

Let's set up a ratio in the form [tex]\frac{cost}{hours}[/tex]

We know it costs $23 to ride for 4 hours, so we can make the fraction [tex]\frac{23}{4}[/tex].

We also know that for $1, we'll have some unknown time for the bike. We can represent this as [tex]\frac{1}{x}[/tex].

Since the constant of proportionality has to be the same, we can set these two ratios equal to each other.

[tex]\frac{23}{4}=\frac{1}{x}[/tex]

We can now solve for x by cross multiplying.

[tex]1 \cdot 4 = 4\\\\4 \div 32 \approx 0.17[/tex]

So $1 will get you around 0.17 hours of bike time.

Hope this helped!
