a roller costor can take 162 passengers around the track in 9 minutes the roller coaster operates at a constant rate. how many passangers can the roller coastor take per minute.

The roller coaster takes 18 passengers per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

A roller coaster can take 162 passengers in 9 minutes. The roller coaster operates at a constant rate.

We have the total passengers T = 162 and the time required t = 9 minutes. We need to calculate the rate of passengers per minute R.

We can find the R dividing the total passengers T by time required t.

R = T/t

R = (162 passengers) / (9 minutes)

R = 18 Passengers/minute.

Finally, we can conclude that the roller coaster takes around 18 passengers pe minute if it operates at a constant rate.
