A ferris wheel has a weight limit of 1 ton. There are 5 people on the ferris wheel. 2 of them weigh 150 lbs and the other 3 weigh 100 lbs. If there are 20 people in line, and they each weigh 140 lbs, how many of them can get on the ferris wheel this turn?
What is 10 people. (2x150 + 3x100)=600
2000-600=1400 lbs left
1400 divided by 140=10 people
