Question

A certain roller coaster can accommodate 1,600 riders per hour. A digital sign states there are 345 people in line. If you get into line, about how many minutes will it take to get into the front of the line

Answer 1

The number of riders per minute ride is 1600 ÷ 60 = 26.7 ≈ 27 riders

If there are 345 riders = 345 ÷ 27 = 12.93 ≈ 13 minutes to get to the front line
