where h represents the number of hours Melanie rents the bike.

What does the solution for the inequality mean in relation to the situation

The solution h<7 means that Melanie can rent the bike for no more than 7 hours.

The solution h<5.5 means that Melanie can rent the bike for no more than 5 hours.*****
