Question

At an amusement park, 25 riders ride the race cars every 30 minutes and 20 riders ride the spinning swings every 20 minutes.

Which ride will have more riders each hour and how many more?

Answer 1

The answer would be 10

Explanation:

So there are 25 riders every 30 minutes. Now for the spinning swings there are 20 riders every 20 minutes. Therefore, the spinning swings will have more riders as 60 > 50.

Answer 2

Spinning Swings

10 more riders

Explanation:

To find which ride will have more riders each hour, we need to first convert an hour into minutes.

1 hour = 60 minutes

Now we let's first find how many riders there will be in the race cars.

So there are 25 riders every 30 minutes.

in 60 minutes there will be:

25 x 2 = 50 Riders

Now for the spinning swings there are 20 riders every 20 minutes.

In 60 minutes there will be:

20 x 3 = 60 Riders

Therefore, the spinning swings will have more riders as 60 > 50.

Now to find how many more riders there will be in the spinning swings.

We simply subtract the total number of riders of each ride from each other.

Race Cars = 50

Spinning Swings = 60

60 - 50 = 10

There will be 10 more riders in the spinning cups than the race cars.
