Final answer:

The manager's claim that 5,818 people can ride each day is reasonable because the total calculated capacity is 7,128, which is higher than the manager's number.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if the claim made by the carnival manager that 5,818 people can ride each day is reasonable, we need to multiply the number of rides by the capacity of each ride. There are 9 rides, and each ride can carry 792 people each day.

By performing the calculation:

  • 9 rides × 792 people per ride = 7,128 people per day

This calculated number exceeds the manager's claim of 5,818 people per day, therefore, the manager's statement is reasonable because the total capacity is actually higher than the number mentioned by the manager.
