A coach in a train can seat exactly 72 people for a trip. The train has 12 such coaches. If the train made 156 trips in full capacity this year, how many people has it carried in that time. I will give brain to the first person who answers this question correctly.

Answer 1

134,784 people

Explanation:

Hello!

Let's first find the number of people it can carry on 1 trip. We can do this by multiplying the number of people per coach, by the number of coaches.

• 72 x 12
• 864

The train carries 864 people per trip. We can find the number of people in 156 trips by multiplying 864 by 156.

• 864 x 156
• 134,784

The train, in full capacity, will carry 134,784 people in 156 trips.
