Answer 1

Given:

A Ferris wheel can accommodate 65 people in 25 minutes

So, the unit rate will be = r =

`r=(65)/(25)=2.6`

we know, 1 hour = 60 minutes

So, the number of people who could ride the Ferris wheel in 2 hours =

`2\cdot60\cdot2.6=312`

so, the answer will be:

the number of people = 312 people
