Question

a Ferris wheel can accommodate 35 people in 20 minutes. how many people could ride the Ferris wheel in 6 hours

Answer 1

I solved and got 630 as well

Answer 2

630 people could ride the Ferris wheel in 6 hours.

Explanation:

First, let's find the people-per-hour amount:

Since there are 3 "20 minutes" in an hour, we multiply the amount it can accommodate by 3 as well:

35 * 3 = 105

Next, since we have 6 hours, we multiply our people-per-hour by 6:

105 * 6 = 630 people in 6 hours, final answer.
