Answer: Ben can only rent the boat for 5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to set up an equation. It would be 20 + 12h = 80

20+12x=80

12x=80-20

Then divide both sides 12x=60

And you get 5

Ben can spend at most 6 hours (72 dollars) being on the boat.

Now if you wanna include the rod and reel, Ben can spend 29 hours (24 hours from the rod and reel, and 5 hours on the boat) Which all adds up to 80
