9 roller coaster rides. hope this helps!

Explanation:

A roller coaster can hold 32 people at a time.

there are 275 people waiting in line.

How many trips will it take for there to be 0 people waiting in line?

We know the roller coaster can hold 32 people at a time, and 275 people are waiting in line.

275/32=8 rides and 19 people left.

If you don't know how to do that: 275 people at first. 275-32 because the roller coaster can only hold 32. Repeat that process untill you find your answer.

So we have 8 rides, and 19 people left? It doesn't matter, It will not take, half the time left, or more time to get it done. So anything below or equal to 32 people will take the same amount of time. So our final answer is 9 rides. Not 8.59375.

Answer 2

9

Explanation:

275 divided by 32 in equal to 8.59, so you just have to round up but that last trip just wont be full
