Answer 1

I think around 120 people would be able to ride in the 2 hours but that might be wrong

Answer 2

Answer:

2 hours= 216 people.

Hourly rate: 108

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this you have to create a rule of three, where 45 minutes can be accomodated in the ferris wheel in 25 minutes, how many coul there be in 120 minutes?

$\frac{45}{25}= \frac{x}{120} \\x=\frac{45*120}{25}\\ x=216\\\frac{45}{25}= \frac{x}{60} \\x=\frac{45*60}{25}\\ x=108$

So the answer for the 2 hours will be 218 people.

And the rate per hour was 108.
