Question

During a normal day, there are 280 planes taking off from the airport, During the Christmas holidays about 336 planes take off everyday Frome the airport

In average each plane takes 240 passengers and 12 tons of cargo How many passengers depart from the airport every hour during Christmas holidays​

Answer 1

3360 Passengers Each Hour

Explanation:

So everything in the problem is excess information besides the fact that 336 planes take off from the airport each day during the holiday season and each plane takes 240 passengers. So you would just do 336 X 240 for the amount of passengers departing from the airport in 1 day (80,640). Since we are looking for the amount of passengers departing every hour though, we would divide 80,640 by 24 giving us the result of 3360.

Thus, 3360 Passengers depart from the airport every hour during the Christmas Holidays.
