Based on the rental fee and the initial fee, the greatest number of hours she can rent the car is 12 hours.

Esmeralda has $150 to spend on the car rental. After the initial fee, she will have:

= 150 - 50

= $100

She has $100 to spend on the hourly charge so the greatest number of hours she can rent the car is:

= Amount to spend / Hourly charge

= 100 / 8

= 12.5 hours

= 12 hours

In conclusion, Esmeralda can rent for a maximum of 12 hours.
