Question

A ferris wheel can accommodate 75 people in 15 minutes. How many people

could ride the ferris wheel in 5 hours? What was that rate per hour?


PLEASE HELP!!!!

Answer 1

Thus:

the # of people riding in 1 hour * 4 = the # of people riding in 4 hours

Answer 2

1,500 people

300 people per hour is the rate
