Question

36,000 people ride the city bus every day. On average, about how many people ride the bus each hour?

Answer 1

If you would like to know about how many people ride the bus each hour, you can calculate this using the following steps:

36000 people ride the city bus every day.
1 day equals to 24 hours.

On average:
36000 / 24 = 1500 people (per hour)

Result: Around 1500 people ride the city bus each hour.

Answer 2

day = 24 hours, right?
36000/24 = 1500

If I put this into words:
36000 people per 24 hours = 1500 people per 1 hour

On average, 1500 people ride the bus per hour (or each hour)
