a ferris wheel can accommodate 55 people in 15 minutes. how many people could ride the ferris wheel in 6 hours? what was that rate per hour
15 minutes is one quarter of an hour, so the number of people accommodated in an hour would be 4 x 55 = 220 people per hour.
Then, multiply the number of people per hour by the 6 hours:
6 hours x 220 people =1320 people in 6 hours.
