Question

The waiting time to a roller coaster is 20 minutes when 150 people are in line. How long is the waiting time when 240 people are in line?

Answer 1

So, the first thing you want to find out is how many seconds each person adds to the wait time. Find out how many seconds are in 20 minutes.. 20*60=120. 120/150=0.8 seconds. Each person adds 0.8 seconds to the wait time. Now, multiply that by 240.. 240*0.8=192 seconds. Lastly, find out how many minutes 192 seconds is... 192/60=32 minutes.
I hope I did that right! And if I did, I hope that helped!
