10,900 / 3,600 = your answer.
Grab a calculator and finish. The reasoning is that there are 60 minutes in an hour and 60 seconds in a minute. 60 x 60 = 3600 seconds per hour.

10,900 people per hour, there are 60 minutes in 1 hour and 60 seconds in 1 minute. 60 min times 60 sec equals 3600 seconds per hour. 10, 900 divided by 3600 is ... You can figure out the rest

There are 60 minutes in an hour and 60 seconds in a minute. Just divide by 60 twice and you should get your answer.
Which should be roughly 3 people per second.

3 people per second.
one hour = 60 min.
10,900/60 =182 (181.667) 182 people per minute
182/60 = 3 (3.02) 3 people per second

you're having many questions re math... i suggest getting a tutor:
10900 / 60 minutes to find how many people per minute.
divide that answer by 60 to find how many people per second.
