A ferris wheel can accomodate 75 people in 25 minutes How many people could ride the ferris wheel in 3 hours What was that rate per hour
+130511 We could set tis up as a proportion thusly.....(using 60 minutes = 1 hour)
75people / 25 minutes = x people / 60 minutes ..... cross-multiply.......
60*75 / 25 = 180 people per hour
And, in three hours, it can accomodate three times as many......so.... 3 x 180 = 540 people
