A ferris wheel can accommodate 70 people in 20 minutes. How many people could ride the ferris wheel in 5 hours? What was that rate per hour?

210 is the rate per hour and 1,050 people in 5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

    You need to get answer to people per hour first. 70 people could ride the ferris wheel in 20 minutes. 20 minutes is 1/3 of 60 minutes, which is an hour. So you multiply both the time and the amount of people by 3. 70 times 3 is 210. This is the amount of people that could ride the ferris wheel in 1 hour. Then, we need to multiply this number by 5, because we need the amount of people that could ride the ferris wheel in 5 hours, not 1 hour. So 210 times 5 is 1,050. 1,050 people could ride the ferris wheel in 5 hours.

    Next, we need to find the rate per hour. You already have the answer to that though. It is the amount of people that could ride the ferris wheel, so your  previous number: 210. Your rate would be 210 people per hour could ride the ferris wheel.
