A Ferris wheel can accommodate 70 people in 30 minutes. How many people could ride the Ferris wheel in 6 hours? What was that rate per hour

Question

I need help this is due tomorrow

Answer 1

Use a ratio....let x = unknown rate.

Then,

70 people/(1/2 hour) = x people/6 hours or x = (70)(6)/(1/2) = 840 people in 6 hours
