At Wild West amusement park, Joey's favorite ride is the Blazing Bullet roller coaster. There are 8 cars on the Blazing Bullet, and each car can hold the same number of people. A total of 48 people can ride on the Blazing Bullet at one time.
Which equation can you use to find the number of people n each car can hold?
Solve this equation for n to find the number of people each car can hold.
people
Let's assume that each car can hold "x" number of people.
Since there are 8 cars on the Blazing Bullet roller coaster, the total number of people that can ride at one time is 8x.
According to the problem, a total of 48 people can ride on the Blazing Bullet at one time. So we can set up the equation 8x = 48.
To solve this equation for x (the number of people each car can hold), we divide both sides of the equation by 8:
(8x)/8 = 48/8
x = 6
Therefore, each car can hold 6 people.
To find the number of people each car can hold, you can set up the equation:
8n = 48
where n represents the number of people each car can hold.
To solve for n, divide both sides of the equation by 8:
n = 48/8
n = 6
Therefore, each car can hold 6 people.
To find the number of people each car can hold, we can set up an equation. Let's call the number of people each car can hold "n".
Since there are 8 cars on the Blazing Bullet and each car can hold the same number of people, we can multiply the number of cars by the number of people each car can hold to get the total number of people on the roller coaster.
The equation can be written as:
8n = 48
To solve this equation for n, we need to isolate the variable n on one side of the equation. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 8:
(8n) / 8 = 48 / 8
Simplifying the equation gives us:
n = 6
Therefore, each car on the Blazing Bullet roller coaster can hold 6 people.
