Answer:

270

Explanation:First, you need to figure out how many times 24 goes into 120 (120 being the number of minutes in a 2 hour period). When you divide 120 by 24, you get 5.

Next, multiply the number of people (54) by the number of minutes (5) to discover that the Ferris wheel can accommodate 270 people in 2 hours.
