Answer: To find out how many rides take place in 28 minutes, we need to divide the total ride length by the length of one side, and then round down to the nearest whole number.
The length of one ride can be calculated by dividing the total ride length by the number of rides. Since we don't know the number of rides, let's call it "n":
length of one ride = total ride length / n
314 minutes / n
Now we can set up an equation to solve for "n":
28 minutes = length of one ride * number of rides
28 minutes = (314 minutes / n) * number of rides
We can simplify this equation by multiplying both sides by "n":
28 minutes * n = 314 minutes * number of rides
Dividing both sides by 314 minutes, we get:
n = (28 minutes * number of rides) / 314 minutes
Multiplying both sides by 314 minutes and dividing by 28 minutes, we get:
number of rides = (n * 314 minutes) / 28 minutes
number of rides = 11.21
Rounding down to the nearest whole number, we get:
number of rides = 11
Therefore, in 28 minutes, 11 rides take place.
