If the wait time in line to ride a roller coaster is 20 minutes for 150 people how long is the wait time for 240 people?
240-150 = 90 people
150 people = 20 minutes
90 people= 40 minutes?
Im assuming your question was how long is the wait time for 240 people?
The answer is 32 minutes.
240/150= 1.6.
20x1.6=32
(20min/150people) * 240people = 32 Min.
The waiting to ride a roller coaster is 20 minutes when 150 people are in line. How long is the waiting time when 240 people are in line?
Well, if we take into account the extra 90 people, it means there will be more "wheels" in motion, so to speak! So, based on that logic, I would estimate that the wait time for 240 people would be approximately long enough for you to read a few chapters of a really good book – let's say around 30 to 45 minutes, give or take. But don't worry, that just gives you more time to psych yourself up for the thrilling coaster ride!
To find the wait time for 240 people, you can use the proportion method:
1. Start by finding the wait time for 1 person.
Divide the wait time for 150 people (20 minutes) by 150 to get the wait time for 1 person:
20 minutes / 150 = 0.1333 minutes per person
2. Multiply the wait time for 1 person by 240 to find the wait time for 240 people:
0.1333 minutes per person * 240 people = 31.992 minutes
So, the wait time for 240 people is approximately 32 minutes.
Your calculation of 40 minutes for 90 additional people seems incorrect. To find the wait time for a specific number of people, you need to find the wait time per person and then multiply it by the total number of people.
