He wants to figure out how many roller coasters he could ride and how many shows he can watch in 345 minutes. Each roller coaster takes 5 minutes to ride. He estimates that the average wait time for a roller coaster is 30 minutes. Caleb wants to ride 3 more roller coasters than the number of shows he watches. Each show takes 25 minutes. In 345 minutes, he can ride roller coasters and watch shows.

7 rollercoasters because 4 shows plus 3 more rolercoasters equal 7 and 4 shows .It takes 5 minutes to ride on the rollercoaster plus the estimated 30 minute wait equals 35 and 35*7=245 and it takes 25 minutes to watch show and 25*4=100 and 245+100=345 so he can ride 7 rollerecoasters and 4 shows in 345 minutes.

Answer 2
