Question

Alladin's Amusement Park has a popular roller coaster ride. There are 2 trains. Each train has 7 cars. Each car holds 16 people. In one hour, each train makes 10 runs without no empty seats. How many people can ride the roller coaster in one hour?

Answer 1

224

Explanation:

Number of trains in the roller coaster = 2

Number cars in each train = 7

Total number of cars = Number of trains
`*` Number of cars in each train =
`7* 2` = 14

Number of people in each car = 16

Total number of people in 14 cars = Number of people in one car
`*` Number of cars = 16
`*` 14 = 224

i.e.

Total number of people in the roller coaster in one run = 224

Number of runs made by each train in one hour = 10

Therefore, Total number of people that can ride the roller coaster in one hour can be found by multiplying the number of runs with total number of people in the roller coaster in one run.

224
`*` 10 = 2240
