Answer:
60 passengers per hour
Explanation:
Mathematically, write the expression
5hrs = 300 passengers
1hr. = b
( since we don't know how many passengers the cruise ship will take in an hour, we denote the number of passengers by any variable). Now doing cross multiplication, multiply the 5hrs by the b and the 1hr by the 300 to get,
5×b = 300×1
5b = 300 now make b the subject by dividing both sides by 5.
b = 300\5
b = 60
Therefore, the cruise ship can take 60 passengers per hour
