A Ferris wheel can accommodate 45 people in 20 minutes. How many people could ride the Ferris wheel in 4 hours? What was that rate per hour?

Question

pls help me with my homework it's due tomorrow

Answer 1

20 minutes = 1/3 hours

 

(1/3)x = 4

x = 12

There are 12 sets of 20 minutes in 4 hours

12(45) = 540 people in 4 hours

 

people per hour = people/hours

540/4 = 135 people per hour
