To answer this question, we need to use the rule of three. We know that every hour (60 minutes) the screamer has 780 riders, then we have:


\begin{gathered} 780\text{ riders}\rightarrow60\text{ minutes} \\ x\text{ riders}\rightarrow2\text{ minutes } \end{gathered}

Applying the rule of three:


x=(2*780)/(60)=26

Therefore, each train has 26 riders.
