Answer: The Ferris wheel can hold 576 People in 4 hours

Step-by-step explanation: To find how many people the Ferris wheel can hold in 4 hours, we first want to know how many people the Ferris wheel can hold per minute and per hour.

To find how many people can go on the Ferris wheel per minute, simply divide 60 by 25.

60/25 = about 2.4 people per minute.

There are 60 minutes in a hour, so multiply 2.4 by 60.

2.4 x 60 = 144 People per hour.

We want to know how many people the Ferris wheel can hold in 4 hours. So multiply 144 by 4.

144 x 4 = 576 People that the Ferris wheel can hold in 4 hours.

The ratio 20/10=5/n. What does n equal?

DIA [1.3K]

N is equal to 2.5

I divided 20 by 5 to get 4. = 20 ÷ 5 = 4. So, I divide 10 by 4 to get n. = 10 ÷ 4 = 2.5

Or we can do this solution.

20 5
---- = ---- ; do cross multiplication. 20n = 10(5)
10 n

20n = 50 ; to get n, divide both sides by 20. 20n / 20 = 50 / 20 = n = 2.50

Whichever way: 20/10 = 5/2.5

Answer:

750 students are boys, 250 are girls.

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 of 1000 is 250.

250 + 250 + 250 = 750 boys.

if 3/4 are boys, then 1/4 (the rest of the school population) are girls.

150 students are girls.
