Question

If I spoke with 800 customers in 40 hours how many customers did I speak to every 30 minutes

Answer 1

Answer:

10 customers were spoken to in every 30 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we convert 40 hours into minutes by multiplying it with 60 [as 1 hour = 60 minutes]

So, 40 hours =  40*60 minutes

                      = 2400 minutes

In 2400 minutes, number of customers served = 800

In 1 minute, number of customers served = $\frac{800}{2400}$

In 30 minutes, number of customers served = $\frac{800}{2400}*30$

                                                                         = $\frac{800}{2400} * \frac{30}{1}$

                                                                         = $\frac{800*30}{2400*1}$

                                                                         = $\frac{24000}{2400}$

                                                                         = 10

So,

10 customers were spoken to in every 30 minutes

Answer 2

To find the jumber of customers in an hour, you just divide 800 by 40.

This gives you 20, meaning 20 customers per hour.

Then, you divide it by two to get 10 customers per half hour.
