Question

A ferris wheel can accommodate 50 people in 30 minutes. How many people could ride the ferris wheel in 6 hours? What was that rate per hour?

Answer 1

600 people per 6 hours

Answer 2

Since the ferris wheel could accommodate 50 people in 30 minutes, we multiply the 50 by 2 for an easier number to work with. This leaves us with 100 people per hour.

100×6= 600 people/hour

Rate: 100 people/hour
