One of the largest carnivals has 25 rides and accommodates 120 people on each ride. If every ride was was completely full 4 nights this week, how many people will the carnival accommodate during those 4 nights?

The carnival has 25 rides

Each ride accomodates 120 people (when full)

Each ride was completelly booked for 4 nights .

Step one, calculate how many people can the carnival accomodate in one night by multiplying the number of people by ride by the number of rides:

120*25= 3000

This means that in one night, the carnival can accomodate 3000 people in all 25 rides.

Step two, multiply the value obtained by the number of nights the carnival will be full:

3000*4=12000

The carnival will expect to accomodate 12000 people for 4 nights with all rides full booked.
