Question

a ferris wheel can accommodate 40 people in 25 minutes, how many people can people ride the ferris wheel in 5 hours? What's the rate per hour?

Answer 1

480 people. Because 60x5=300 and 300 divided by 25=12. Lastly, 12x40=480!!

Answer 2

Answer:

480 in 5hrs

Rate is 96 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

In 5 hours there are 300 minutes (5x60) and 300min/25min = 12. So 25 mins pass 12 times in 5 hours. Since each 25 mins its 40 ppl then 12x40 = 480.

480 in 5 hours so 480/5= 96 per hour
