30

Explanation:

A ferris wheel has 32 passenger cabins. if you are sitting in cabin 14 which is currently at the top of the wheel, what is the number of the cabin at the bottom of the wheel?

• from the top to the base you have a semicircle, so 16 cabins, if at the top there is the 14 below you will have the 30.

32 : 2 + 14 = 30

Answer 2

• Number of the cabin at the bottom of the wheel is 30

Explanation:

Since there are 32 passenger cabins, each half of the wheel has:

• 32/2 = 16 cabins

It means the opposite cabins on the Ferris wheel have number difference of 16.

If one of the cabins has a number 14, the opposite cabin has number of:

• 14 + 16 = 30
