Question

A ferris wheel can accommodate 35 people in 20 minutes how many people could ride the ferris wheel in 5 hours what is the rate per hour

Answer 1

The rate of change: 105 people per hour; in 5 hours there would be 525 people.

Explanation:

The rate can be calculated by turning minutes into hours, so if 20mins = 35ppl, it can be turned into 1hour = 105ppl, so in 5 hours there should be 525ppl

Answer 2

it can accommodate 525 people in 5 hours and the hourly rate is 105

Explanation:

There are 60 minutes in an hour so you divide 60/20 = 3

then you multiply 35 x 3 = 105 (the hourly rate)

Five hours = 105 x 5 = 525
