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
