Question

At Wild West amusement park, Aditya's favorite ride is the Blazing Bullet roller coaster. There are 10 cars
on the Blazing Bullet, and each car can hold the same number of people. A total of 40 people can ride on the
Blazing Bullet at one time.
Which equation do you think we can use to find the number of people n each car can hold?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let each car can hold x persons

Then total person can  ride on the

Blazing Bullet=10x

10x=40

x=40/10=4

x=4

Answer 2

To find total number of people for n people on each can hold we can use the equation 10n = 40

Given:

There are 10 cars on the Blazing Bullet, and each car can hold the same number of people.

A total of 40 people can ride on the Blazing Bullet at one time.

To find:

Which equation we can use to find the number of people n each car can hold

Solution:  

Number of cars on the Blazing Bullet = 10

Each can carry same number of people

Let n be the number people can carry by a car

⇒ Total number of people can carry by 10 cars = 10 × n

From given data, 40 people can ride on the Blazing Bullet at one time

⇒  10 × n = 40

⇒ 10n = 40

⇒ n = 4

⇒ The number people can hold by each car = 4

To find total number of people for n people on each can hold we can use the equation 10n = 40
