If your site was serving ten requests at the same time, and each of those requests used the database, then that would be ten concurrent connections for one user (where "user" refers to the account the server connects to the database with).

Impossible to say without knowing a lot more about what sort of business you were operating than is appropriate; for some organisations it would be normal or even low - but those organisations would be the sort to would have their own network infrastructure.
If you were slashdotted or otherwise targeted, there might have been a one-off spike in traffic that brought your hosting provider's systems down to a crawl - but would probably have maxed out the maximum connections limit as well, limiting the rate at which queries being made.
Since you aren't in direct control of how many queries get made in an hour, it's more useful to know how many queries you make to process a request - you're in a better position to adjust that.
