Here are the solutions for questions 2.5.1 and 2.5.2.

Determine the total parking duration.
Sister Masara parked for 8 hours and 15 minutes. The table states "RATE CHARGED PER HOUR OR PART THEREOF", meaning any fraction of an hour counts as a full hour. Therefore, 8 hours and 15 minutes is considered "More than 8 hours" for billing purposes.
Find the corresponding rate from Table 3.
According to Table 3, for "More than 8 hours", the rate charged is R40.00.

The rate charged is R40.00.

2.5.2
Convert minutes to hours.
There are 60 minutes in 1 hour.
$15 \text{ minutes} = \frac{15}{60} \text{ hours} = 0.25 \text{ hours}$
Add the converted minutes to the whole hours.
$8 \text{ hours} + 0.25 \text{ hours} = 8.25 \text{ hours}$
8 hours and 15 minutes in hours is 8.25 hours.
