Question

Chase rode a Ferris wheel 93 timesaround, one lap after the other. If eachlap of the Ferris wheel took 20 seconds,how long was Chase's ride?minute

Answer 1

If Chase rode 93 times around, and each lap takes 20 seconds, to find out how long was Chase's ride we must multiply the time for each lap, and how many laps she did, then, the calculus will be

`time=93\cdot20`

The result will be in seconds!

`\begin{gathered} time=93\cdot20 \\ \\ \text{time}=1860\text{ seconds} \end{gathered}`

Then Chase's ride was 1860 seconds long! We can covert it in minutes by doing the division by 60

The time in minutes will be

`\begin{gathered} \text{time}=(1860)/(60)\text{ minutes} \\ \\ \text{time}=31\text{ minutes} \\ \end{gathered}`

Therefore, Chase's ride took 31 minutes
