320 people

==============

We are given that the Ferris wheel can accommodate 80 people in 30 minutes.

To find the number of people that can ride in 6 hours, we need to determine how many 30-minute intervals are in 6 hours. There are:

  • 6 hours / 30 minutes = 12 intervals

Therefore, the number of people that could ride the Ferris wheel in 6 hours is:

  • 80 x 12 = 320 people
