The number of people who took ride in the big ferris wheel at a fair can be calculated by proper dimensional analysis. This can be done through the equation below,

         n = (number of minutes)(rate at which the chair passes the exit platform)(number of persons per chair)

Substituting the known values to the equation,

       n = (30 minutes)(1 chair / minute)(2 persons / chair)
                 n = 60 persons

Answer: 60 persons

The number of persons who have taken the ride is 60.

According to the question, a halloween fair with a big ferris wheel. The wheel has 10 chairs and people are seated [tex]2/chair[/tex].

Also, every minute a chair passes the exit platform and the wheel opens at 11 am for thirty minutes so, the rate at which the chair passes the exit platform is [tex]1\;chair\;per\;minute[/tex].

Now, number of persons who have taken the ride is calculated as-

[tex]n= minutes \times (1\;chair\;per\;minute)\times (2\;persons\;per\;chair)\\n=30\times 2\times 1\\n=60[/tex]

Hence, the number of persons who have taken the ride is 60.
