Answer 2

The most number of times you could ride the roller coaster?

C. 116

It is given that in the state fair, one ride would cost 5 tickets for roller coaster.

So, 5 tickets can get us 1 ride.

By unitary method, 1 ticket would get us = (1/5) ride

582 tickets would get = (582/5) rides = 116.4

As number of rides cant be fractional, we take the number of rides as 116.

So, option (C) is correct.
