5 rotations of 24 mins carrying a maximum of 300 people.

Explanation:

Divide 2 hours by 24 minutes.

First change 2 hours into minuets

2 hours xx (60 min/h) = 120 min

Next divide 120 min by 24 mins

120 min/(24 min) = 5

Next multiple the five rotations by 60 people per rotation.

5 xx 60 peo = 300 peo

In two hours the ferris wheel will make 5 rotations carrying a maximum of 300 people.
