Question

Ramona went to a theme park during spring break. She was there for 9 hours and rode 18 rides. At what rate did Ramona ride rides in rides per hour?
A.
2 rides per hour
B.
4 rides per hour
C.
1 ride per hour
D.
3 rides per hour

Answer 1

To find the rate at which Ramona rode rides, we can use the formula:

\[
\text{Rate} = \frac{\text{Total rides}}{\text{Total hours}}
\]

In this case:

- Total rides = 18
- Total hours = 9

So we calculate the rate as follows:

\[
\text{Rate} = \frac{18 \text{ rides}}{9 \text{ hours}} = 2 \text{ rides per hour}
\]

Therefore, the answer is **A. 2 rides per hour**.
