The wait time to ride a roller coaster is 20 minutes when 160 people are in line. At this rate, how long is the wait time when 220 people are in line? (Write answer to the tenths place)

Respuesta :

Answer :

27.5 minutes

Steps:

1) put into fraction form:

160/20 = 220/x

2) simplify:

160/20 = 8/1

3) cross multiply:

8 • x = 8x

220 • 1 = 220

4) divide on both sides:

8/8 = crosses out

220/8 = 27.5
