Question

You go to a Christmas fair with a big Ferris wheel. The wheel has ten seats, and two people are placed on each seat. Every minute a seat passes by the exit platform. At 11 a. M. The Ferris wheel opens for 30 minutes - how many people have ridden the wheel during this time?.

Answer 1

600 because 30 x 10 x 2

Answer 2

60 people have ridden the wheel in 30 minutes

The time is given as:

$Time =30 \minutes$

The number of seats on the wheel is given as:

$Seats = 10$

The number of people on a seat is given as:

$People =2$

Every minute a seat exits the platform.

This means that, 2 people exit the platform every minute

So, the number (n) of people that exit the platform after 30 minutes would be:

$n =People \times Time$

This gives

$n = 2\times 30$

Multiply

$n = 60$

Hence, 60 people have ridden the wheel
