Answer 1

To find out how many people travel to the museum in one week, we can follow these steps:

1. Calculate the number of people that travel in one trip: \[ \text{People per trip} = 60 \]

2. Calculate the total number of people that travel in one day: \[ \text{Total trips per day} = 20 \] \[ \text{Total people per day} = \text{People per trip} \times \text{Total trips per day} = 60 \times 20 = 1,200 \]

3. Calculate the total number of people that travel in one week: \[ \text{Days in a week} = 7 \] \[ \text{Total people per week} = \text{Total people per day} \times \text{Days in a week} = 1,200 \times 7 = 8,400 \]

Therefore, the total number of people that travel to the museum in one week is 8,400.
