Question

The Tama, Japan, monorail carries 92,700 riders

each day. If the monorail usually carries

5,150 riders per hour, how many hours does

the monorail run each day?

Answer 1

The number of hours monorail run each day is 18.

Explanation:

The total number of riders the monorail carry each day is:

N = 92700.

The number of riders the monorail carry per hour is:

n = 5150.

Compute the number of hours the monorail run each day as follows:

`\text{Number of hours the monorail run each day}=(N)/(n)`

`=(92700)/(5150)\\\\=18`

Thus, the number of hours monorail run each day is 18.
