So you have to ask yourself “how many 25 minute sessions are there in 6 hours?” First you have to convert 6 hours to minutes. 6 hours = 360 minutes. Next divide that number by 25. 360 divided by 25 is 14.4. Now you know that there are 14.4 sessions of 25 minutes in 6 hours. Because the Ferris wheel can have 50 people in 25 minutes, you can multiply 14.4 times 50. The answer is 720 people.
