Answer:

3360 Passengers Each Hour

Explanation:

So everything in the problem is excess information besides the fact that 336 planes take off from the airport each day during the holiday season and each plane takes 240 passengers. So you would just do 336 X 240 for the amount of passengers departing from the airport in 1 day (80,640). Since we are looking for the amount of passengers departing every hour though, we would divide 80,640 by 24 giving us the result of 3360.

Thus, 3360 Passengers depart from the airport every hour during the Christmas Holidays.
