Answer:

100 revolutions

Explanation:

First, we need to determine what the key numbers are. We know that there are 150 revolutions of the amusement park ride in 180 seconds, and we need to find how many it will make in 2 minutes.

- 1 minutes is 60 seconds

- 180 seconds is 3 minutes

-150 revolutions are in 3 minutes

First, we should divide 150 by 3 to get the revolutions per minute.

150 / 3 = 50

We need to find how many revolutions the ride would make at this rate in 2 minutes. 50 revolutions is 1 minute of revolutions, and we need 2 revolutions, so we will multiply 50 by 2

50 * 2 = 100

There are 100 revolutions in 2 minutes on this ride.
