Question

A Ferris wheel can accommodate 65 people in 20 minutes.How many people could ride the Ferris wheel in 6 hours? What is the rate per hour

Answer 1

The Ferris wheel can accommodate 1170 people in 6 hours, and the rate per hour is 195 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of people who could ride the Ferris wheel in 6 hours, we need to calculate the number of people it can accommodate in 1 hour and then multiply it by 6. If the Ferris wheel can accommodate 65 people in 20 minutes, it can accommodate (65/20) x 60 = 195 people in 1 hour. So, in 6 hours, it can accommodate 195 x 6 = 1170 people.

To find the rate per hour, we divide the number of people by the number of hours. Therefore, the rate per hour is 1170/6 = 195 people per hour.

Answer 2

65 people=20 minutes
20*3=60 minutes which is 1 hour
65*3=195 people per hour (This is the rate per hour)
195*6=1,170 people per six hours
