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.
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.
