Answer 1

The answer is r=22 because division

Answer 2

Answer: r = 22

Explanation:

582 passengers on the boat

Let r be the number of rides.

So, we want to find r when:

582r = 13105

To solve for r, and we get:

r = 22.517

If we round this down, setting 0.517 rides as the first ride, we get:

r = 22
