Question

2,200 people enter an amusement park every hour. How long will it take for 6,000 people to enter the park?

Answer 1

P= Total # of people who entered the park

t= The time in hours

P=2200t

6600 = 2200t

Divide both sides of the equation by 2200:

3=t

answer : 3 hours

Answer 2

9515 1404 393

Answer:

2 8/11 hours ≈ 2.73 hours

Explanation:

Assuming a constant rate, entries are proportional to time.

time/people = 1 h/(2200 people) = t/(6000 people)

t = (1 h)(6000/2200) = 2 8/11 h ≈ 2.73 h

It will take about 2.73 hours for 6000 people to enter.
