Question

a ferris wheel can accumulate 75 people in 30 minutes how many people could ride the ferris wheel in 4 hours what was that rate per hour

Answer 1

600 people

Explanation:

We can use ratios to solve this problem.

Change the 30 minutes in to hours

30 minutes = .5 hours

75 people x people

---------------- = -----------------------

.5 hours 4 hours

Using cross products

75*4 = .5 *x

300 = .5x

Divide each side by .5

300/.5 = .5x/.5

600 =x
