at a Halloween fair, you see a huge Ferris wheel. There are ten seats on the wheel, with two people placed on each seat. Every minute, a seat passes by the exit platform. The Ferris wheel opened for 30 minutes at 11 a.m. and doubled its speed after fifteen minutes. How many people rode the wheel during this time?
This is just a fun question I need answered!

Respuesta :

90 people

We are told that;

Total number of seats = 10

Number of people in each seat  = 2 Total duration of the Ferris wheel  = 30 minutes

  • For the fist 15 minutes of normal speed, since 2 people were placed on each seat, it means that;

Number of people to ride for the first 15 minutes = 15 × 2 = 30 people

  • Now, the speed has been doubled for the remaining 15 minutes.

This means that 2 seats will pass per minute and thus;

Number of people to ride for 15 minutes at this double speed = 15 × 2(2) = 60

2(2) was used because a seat can take 2 people.

  • Thus, total number to ride the wheel overall = 30 + 60 = 90 people
